SESE's Fic Recs Part 2 (ATEEZ)

Hi and hello! Today, i present to you the second part of my fic recs because i spend waaaay too much time reading stuff on here when i should be working on my own stories, hahah :) I just have so many ideas that it's hard to stick with one, you know?

Anyway, it's the same as before, the fics will be sorted by members, my all time favourites are marked with a "♡". And as this one is a bit shorter than the previous one, you can be sure that this one will be updated from time to time.

You can find the first part here:

SESE's Fic Rec (ATEEZ)

And as you can probably notice by these fic recs, i'm a sucker for long ass fics, i just love them so much! (no hate to shorter fics, they're just as good!!!)

Warning: Some of the fics will have a bit of "commentary" from me below them, these might contain spoilers for the fics, just so you've been warned.

Once again, a giant thank you to all the incredibly skilled and talented authors out there for creating these masterpieces!!! <3 You deserve all the love for doing what you do and allowing us to read and take part in that!

And because I have a habit for reading and recommending a lot of fics from the same authors, i'll just tag them once in this even if there's more than one fic. hope that's okay :)

Anyway, have fun reading!!!

PS: if any of the links are wrong or don't work, feel free to tell me so i can try and fix it.

alt!stoner!hj x kinda!detached(?)!reader

♡ It Can't Be That Hard - @seung-hwa (12k)

brother's best friend!hj x reader / college au / exes to lovers

i'm a sucker for the "brother's best friend" trope, so it was already quite clear that i was going to love this. and well, i was right with my suspicion. the dynamic between all the characters is just so *chef's kiss*. i kinda felt bad for yunho, though... that guy has been sneaking his way into my heart lately, so no surprise there... (i mean the thing with the knitted hat? so damn cute!)

Cry For Me - @yeostinys (3 parts)

ceo!hj x secretary!r

this is normally not a plot that i read very often, but this was so incredibly good, oh wow. reader is really a bit of a crybaby, but like in a so not annoying way, you know? i loved it, read it.

♡ I'll Let The World Burn - @koyagifs (3.4k)

dragon rider!hj x dragon!r

this was such an interesting read because reader is a dragon in this one. but i love how their close bond was portrayed and it was so sad... i was this close to crying, i'm telling you. but i loved every second of it.

PARK SEONGHWA

Where Water Turns To Flame - @sungbeam (6.1k)

dragon!sh x dragon!r

♡ Playing With Fire - @ateezmakemeweep (5 parts)

(kinda)sugar daddy!sh x daughter's bff!r

hoooly shit. this was a rollercoaster. a real good rollercoaster. the relationship between the reader and seonghwa is so sweet and hot at the same time. (tbh, during the time eunbi and mrs. park were mad pissed at reader, i was kinda on their side, because if i was in their shoes, i'd be as well, but like i get the reader too, cause it's hwa) and i also love the dynamic between reader and eunbi, especially after the whole shitshow that went down, when eunbi is chill with reader and seonghwa's relationship, it's so hilarious.

♡ You Can Run But You Can't Hide - @bvidzsoo (25.8k)

vampire hunter!yh x vampire!r

i've been a little vampire fanatic since i was a child, so i really like vampire tropes. and i've especially come to like the vampire x vampire hunter pairing (probably cause of my love for enemies to lovers). the tension between them is crazy and i love it. the detail that did it for me though is the one with feeling pleasure from the biting and drinking from each other. i remember that i've read something with that a very long time ago, and it stuck with me since then. so finally seeing this in a fic again was sooo cool, it's just so intimate. and the small cameos (if you can call it that) of mingi and seonghwa? so tragic, yet so sweet.

Summer's Dive - @santheestallion (30k)

brother's bff!yh x reader

i've actually only read the first part to this, somehow i haven't gotten to read the other two (i think it's two other parts?). until now i totally loved it, and i'm sure the other parts are just as good, i'll have to read them as soon as possble!

KANG YEOSANG

♡ Don't Lean On Me - @sweetinsaniiity (27k)

tsundere!outcast!ys x semi-stalker!r

i'm writing this one day after i read it for the first (and the second) time (11.01.25) and holy shit. in my previous fic rec i've stated that "entropy" (also a ys fic) is my all time fav fic, well this one just tied with it, if it has not even surpassed it (no hate to entropy, it will always have a special place in my heart), cause this is incredible. i love these type of fics and the way yeosang was portrayed here made me feel some type of way (in the best way possible). the small details and gestures from him, oh my god. seriously, if you're as yeosang biased as i am, you definitely need to read this. or just read it anyway, i'll force you if i have to <3

A World In Your Colours - @ bvidzsoo

bodyguard!mg x princess!r (modern royalty)

i've never read anything like this before. obviously the bodyguard x princess trope is pretty common (and i eat it up every time) but not in the way this was made (with the age gap and all). when i read the summary, i was a bit unsure but i knew i just had to read it, and i was not disappointed. their relationship is so sweet and this fic? AMAZING. and as i'm writing this i'm realizing that i've literally just recommended two mingi fics with this trope, well what can i say? bodyguard!mingi is just *chefs kiss*

♡ Love Me Like A Rockstar - @ bvidzsoo (15 chapters)

uni student/local rockstar!mg x uni student!r

oh dear, i can't even begin to describe. as you can probably tell here, mingi has been on my mind a lot. and this series, wow. i've read this in one evening, i was so invested. tbh, reader was unnecessarily rude to mingi a lot, but like i get it because of her past (though letting it out on mingi wasn't really cool of her, i mean, it wasn't his fault). but seriously, this story is so amazing. from the detail of her suddenly starting to draw mingi instead of yunho to how mingi just suddenly starts being nice to her even if she's still behaving like a jerk. and just when their friendship (love their texting, by the way) starts to progress, reader goes and pulls that shit? i was hooked. and i also was totally on seulgi's side for a second when she called just to shit on reader hahah. anyway, such an amazing and sweet story!!! <3

JUNG WOOYOUNG

coming soon ... (i need to read more about him again, this is my sign)

CHOI JONGHO

♡ (Not) Another Love Song - @yourlocaljonghoe (11.5k)

uni student!jh x uni student!r (roommates to lovers)

her basically only being able to sleep when she listens to jongho's covers on youtube? so cute. and how socially awkward she is? it felt so relatable, because honestly? i'm the same way. normally, i enjoy reading fics with a more confident reader (something that i'm not, but i like to pretend) but it also feels so amazing to read something with a socially awkward reader like here. and the way he covers the song she was talking about to him just like a day earlier?? now that, folks, is love.

POLY/MULTIPLE

♡ Compass Of The Heart - @velvetvisionsaurora (ongoing series)

pirate au // hj x r / sh x r / mg x r / yh x r / wy x r

oh my god. this story is so precious to me you don't understand. the scenes from when they were children? i could have cried. and the way each of the boys has a nickname for her is so cute. and i'm such a sucker for her relationship to mingi. i love the way he is written as like the guy that doesn't talk much and the deep connection between them is so sweet. and generally the way everyone treats her, i love it. i get so excited everytime a new chapter of this gets posted.

Hope you enjoyed these, because i certainly did!!

'Til then, bye bye <3

did you see the statement against Majo- Ellen's actor, it's...a lot to take in

https://x.com/artistz93/status/1724168049480085988?s=46

i contemplated not posting this, but I know there's only so many other blogs that'd do so.

I am disgusted and appalled by the behavior shown in these screenshots. It is incredibly frustrating to see yet another individual come out of that sphere of people and be horrid. I was already familiar with the depravity of Yuki, and the quiet allegations posed against them.

I do not have my own experience along the same lines (much less with a creator) but I do believe that bringing some of this information to enforcement might be for the best. I understand that this is easier said than done, due to either online anonymity, family, etc., and as such respect and understand the lack of involvement with law enforcement.

I'm so fucking sorry to any of the people who had been affected by Ellen, and I hope that you guys can find some sense of closure from this. Out of my own experience with his lack of maturity and inability to reasonably approach these matters, I would like to say to any of the parties involved that I would not recommend bringing this to Sam.

While I am not saying he would support these actions, I am willing to assume he likely would not care, nor is there any responsibility he could really claim, outside of giving Ellen (and Yuki) the means to start a platform.

really fucking shitty way to end the night. fuck Ellen, Yuki, and Sam How I will go forward with YHS: I have taken a break from posting about Ellen, as both he and Yuki truly do not deserve any sort of positive affirmations regarding their past work. While I'm not sure how long this break will proceed for, any further communications involving their fictionalized characters will likely be altered, and I'll likely change aspects of their characters.

I'm not the most active or frequent when it comes to commentary and fan content involving YHS, due to quite obvious reasons. However, it's still something in the back of my brain and something I don't intend on straying far from with my fan creations. For better or worse, it shaped a part of me. Quite frankly, in ways it never should've.

EDIT: I did not feel satisfied with this my original posts as my thoughts were generally disorganized due to the fact I was beginning finales at the time this situation was brought forward to me. I also broke it up into how I will be going forward with their characters, and my message to anyone involved as I do not want to make this about me. It is not. It's about the gross behavior displayed, and I hope that everyone involved in these situations are able to move forward.

Not Ok MV Analysis

When Not Ok dropped, I was floored. It’s so good!!! So, as one does, I watched MV again and again too. At about the third time around, I began to realize that each of the member’s scenes are connected to the original Fever Diaries. So without further ado, here’s my analysis;

Hongjoong is stuck watching a screen, and the words he sees, (missing, alone, loneliness, behind, family, mother) connect back to his original dream; to become famous, like the people on tv, so his family would notice him. So he would no longer be alone. That’s his ‘trauma’. And in the end, the only way for him to break free is to destroy the phone.

You could argue his scenes are commentary on our modern reality, addiction, the horrors of constant media consumption, etc… and they are somewhat, but even more than that it’s about how the ideals of media effected his dreams. His addiction wasn’t the phone itself, but the unrealistic ideal of who to be. The idea that a perfect family exists, or that people are never lonely. That becoming perfect would change anything. At the end of the song most of them are able to break free of their ‘trauma’, and HJ does it by destroying what originally set him on his path.

I think for Hongjoong, freedom is realizing he doesn’t need to be that false ideal to have what he wants. That not everyone is perfect, and that if he doesn’t want to be alone, he needs to run for it in real life, not in some imaginary one.

Yunho sees his brother, flickering, glitching, and eventually disappearing. They’re in a theater, possibly like his brother might have once performed at. We don’t know too much about his brother from the diaries except that he liked playing music, and had a messed up leg, but I think it’s plausible that he would’ve performed at local theaters. As for why Yunho sees him…I think it’s supposed to represent his obsession. The theater itself represents his mind, how he’s constantly searching for traces of his brother.

In the Fever diaries, Yunho blames himself for his brother being in a coma, so much so that he starts following his brother’s dream; music. Then of course, through music, he met the guys and started traveling through time. It seemed like he’d moved on somewhat. Yet, in World Diaries when he met his brother in the past, he refused to leave him. In the end, when he chose to find the members again, his brother got hurt in the collateral. Possibly even killed this time. (Something possibly supported by the flies on the clothes in the MV.) So it’s safe to say that his guilt and fear are still fresh as ever.

(Yes this is a screenshot from YH’s scene. It’s what convinced me that it’s his brother) Overwhelmed with that guilt, Yunho’s been following his brother’s dream, this whole time. This whole time. It makes me think that maybe his brother disappearing at the end, in the same way the other break free from their shackles, is him gaining freedom. In the end, to live free, he needs to break out of his brother’s dream and live his own. No matter how much he loves his brother, to truly achieve something great, it needs to be his own will.

Seonghwa and Yeosang are in the same room, because their original ‘trauma’ was the same. Both of them were trapped due to rules and schedules. Yeosang was trapped in a ‘perfect’ life by an external force, his father, whereas Seonghwa was trapped in the same life, but by his own mind.

Both of them are playing Go, under heavy surveillance. Both of them have heavy, expensive looking watches on, that are constantly flashing with the words: obey, money, do work, fame, success, wake up, control. Those watches are their ‘shackles’ the constant goals, reminders, timers. You could think of it like a smart watch, literally giving reminders, but I think it’s supposed to be a literal watch. Time is counting down, but they only think of it as things they have to do, not as something mutable. Numbers, letters, strategies. Life is a game to be won, not a journey to be enjoyed.

Yeosang is the first to wake up, but there’s nothing he can do about it. He’s in a cage, and can’t escape on his own. (Interesting to me, because he saves the members in the diaries, but he cant save himself.) In the world diaries, when he fully breaks away from his father’s thinking, he attributes it to being with the others. It’s a change that happened in his own mind, but he needed someone to show him there was hope. He couldn’t do it alone. In the MV it’s the same. He wants to break free, but can’t alone. This is the play that triggered YS to wake up. vv

I think it’s significant for a handful of reasons. First, he’s losing, something that shouldn’t happen in his ‘perfect’ world. Second, his piece is fully boxed in (which is overkill). It’s caged, just like him. Third, and most interesting to me, is that the four Xs around a piece in Go are called liberties. So he’s quite literally had his liberties taken.

Seonghwa only wakes up when he sees the clock. In the diaries, SH woke up when he saw the girl dancing, it was a trigger for him to change how he was living. Unlike YS, no one was forcing SH to live perfectly. All the rules and schedules he followed like a religion, he made up himself. For him, deciding to change his life was completely internal, triggered by something anyone could’ve experienced. It’s the same in the MV. Seonghwa wakes up easily, but only after seeing the clock. Realizing that his life is ticking down to nothing, without him ever really living.

After waking up, Seonghwa is able to remove his watch easily. Proof that he had it on of his own volition. Then once free, he's able to free Yeosang who can’t escape on his own.

As for Wooyoung and Mingi, they are both in the same room, yet alone. Their fears were also both incredibly similar, their fears were other people. At first you would think they would be together in the room, but part of what made their fear so strong was being alone. So they’re together, but separate. When the two of them are first shown, they’re both on a little stage surrounded by masked figures. At first I didn’t realize the significance of the scene, but then I realized; The figures are facing different directions. On Wooyoung’s side the figures face him, while on Mingi’s side they face away from him. This little detail characterizes their fears well; Wooyoung is afraid of people’s stares, while Mingi hates being alone.

Wooyoung’s struggle, as characterized in the Fever diaries, is stage fright. While his screen time doesn’t seem very significant at first, it’s clear he’s afraid. The masked figures are looking at him. He surrounded, trapped on stage a tiny stage and they’re laughing (???) at him. I think people who struggle with stage fright and public speaking would agree that it’s a terrifying predicament. At the end of the MV he manages to break free by performing anyway, even with his fear. And he blows them all away.

Another thing I thought was interesting was the short but intense zoom on his necklace. Shots like this wouldn’t happen unless they were 100% on purpose. (Because it’s weird ToT) In his first Diary, WY says that his fear was like a “chain that was tying my body”. So the chain necklace could represent part of his fear. It’s collaring him in the same way the watches shackled YS and SH for their scenes.

Mingi loved music, but as escapism. He was lonely and used music as a way to hide from how he actually felt. His ‘trauma’. In the beginning, there are a good handful of shots of him standing alone on a stage. Sometimes there are men in black like Wooyoung have, but most of the time they’re either facing away from him, or flickering like they’re not really there. That’s his ‘trauma’; being alone.

His scenes were the hardest for me to analyze out of all the members. Yet they’re what also made me realize that Not Ok is connected to Fever Diaries. This shot of him putting in his earbuds is the reason I was even able to write this analysis. vv

It parallels his scenes in Diary Film so perfectly that it made me go back and reevaluate the whole MV from a Fever perspective.

To be honest, Mingi’s scenes stumped me for quite some time. Like weeks and weeks kinda time. After all that time thinking, I’ve come to the conclusion that the MV is supposed to show him coming to love music more for what it is than for the ability to hide in it. At some point he begins to use music as a way to connect with people as opposed to a way to push them away. (Like how the guys in black join him to dance.) For Mingi music is an unhealthy coping mechanism, but it’s also the path he chose for himself. If used the right way, it can give him strength to keep going and the ability to relate to others. He hasn’t won his inner battle yet, but he’s definitely getting closer.

San is running, (something he seems to be doing every single comeback). I think his running is supposed to be yet another callback to the og Fever Diary Film where he’s being forced to move again, and as he’s going down the escalator he changes his mind and runs back to the warehouse. Back to his friends and dancing. In the MV he’s being held back by two faceless men in a hall full of moving boxes. As the lights flicker the men turn invisible. (More proof that everything in the MV is happening entirely in their minds.) I don’t know who or what the men are supposed to represent, maybe they’re supposed to represent his parents, or maybe they represent his doubts and fears holding him back.

Towards the end he’s being sucked down a tunnel trying desperately to crawl out as something is racing towards him. At first I thought it was just particles, or grains of sand like in the cromer, going to suck him back into his ‘trauma’, but after watching it over and over again I realized; They’re toy trucks. Moving vans. The thing he was originally running from. He’s still trying to run.

Jongho’s is actually the most straightforward, even tho it took me a while to realize. When you see his scenes it’s easy to focus on the screens, because a few of the others have screens too (and they’re strobing so it’s super distracting.) What’s actually important though is what’s on the screens. It all ties back to that original injury in his first Fever Diary. In the og Fever Diary Jongho is depressed because he loves basketball sustained a horrible injury that made him unable to ever play again. In the diary he voices that he’s not just suffering from losing his dream, but also the realization that everyone left him behind.

At the start of the music video they split trauma into mental and physical, and Jongho’s is both. For his scenes he’s lying alone in a bed, in an empty room surrounded by screens. A good sum of loneliness. That’s where what’s on the screens comes in: All the screens are playing videos of people or animals running. Something he can no longer do. He can’t leave, can’t run, and he’s forced to watch other people do what he cannot.

When he starts trying to break away from the screen’s control on his mind, it shows a spider, meant to reflect his situation. He’s caught, stuck in a web, and can’t escape. For him, the breaking of the screens (similar to HJ in drowning the phone) is proof of him trying to break free from his ‘trauma’. In the MV, Jongho never manages to break the screens. He doesn’t escape but he’s trying his best. And the cracks in the screens prove that one day, he will succeed. ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧//✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧

There are some things I noticed in the MV that I didn’t understand, or know where to put. 1) Throughout the whole MV it’s ’snowing’. It could be ash, but it’s in almost every solo scene regardless of whose scene it is. I feel like it’s supposed to be something to show that they're all in the same kind of dream, or perhaps in the same place outside of it. 2) San’s necklace. San is wearing a ring on a his necklace. It could just be a fashion accessory but to me it looks too deliberate to be a purely aesthetic choice.

But I think that’s where I’ll end for now;

In each of the members scenes, they’re fighting themselves. Trying to break out of their own trauma, and gain the freedom to pursue their dreams of their own will. There are some whose internal conflict isn’t resolved, and some who seem to have broken out of said ‘trauma’. Yet all of them are trying, struggling, and helping eachother where they can. Much like real life.

If I made any mistakes or you have anything to add plz feel free to. As always, if you made it this far ily! Thanks for reading 💕

[fangirlthreepointoh]

@NiaOracle on TikTok told people to drop their hot takes during the hiatus and since I'm merely a lurker and liker on TikTok, I've brought my thoughts to Tumblr instead.

First, for some context:

I'm completely a noob. For the longest time I was a buddie-in-law as I once saw a fanfic author refer to themselves. I'd never watched the show but I'd lurked in the Tumblr and AO3 tags. But this year I started watching from Season 1.

I haven't been able to make it through Season 6 episode 1 yet and then up to Season 8, but I have a general idea about what happens between then and the latest episode due to Tumblr gifs and edits and commentary.

That being said, here are some of my very warm (but not hot) takes (maybe some of them are just observations honestly):

On Abby

People (especially in fanfics) treat Abby as this horrible monster for what she did to Buck (and yh that was pretty messed up). However, I got the vibe watching Season 1 that Abby wasn't supposed to be Buck's love interest, but Buck was supposed to be Abby's love interest.

I got the impression that Abby was more of a main character than him, but then the actress chose to leave or they realized that Buck was well-loved as a character and decided to give him a bigger more serious role. Idk, I'm probably wrong because this show's writing always seems to be sending mixed signals (or I'm just not really good at reading them).

But that's my warm take on Abby. That we were meant to take her side and feel for her and not Buck, because he was just the hot, young guy who helped her find herself outside of her caretaker role for her mom and remind her that she was a woman. Clearly it backfired though if that’s what they were going for.

On Ana

Another thing is that a lot of fanfics imply that Eddie and Ana never had a physically intimate relationship and so I was genuinely shook when I got to the panic attack episode and she's all flirty in the suit store about dressing him up and she says she also likes the other thing.

I also don't understand why she's so heavily villainized in fanfic. Like she did everything right. She was never pushy. Eddie just didn't like her that much and that was NOT HER FAULT. I feel like that was the whole point. That their relationship was never about Ana to begin with. A literal it’s not you it’s me.

Also you mean to tell me Eddie never once called her Dr Flores??? Do Americans not call PhDs Dr or something? Or was it supposed to be clear that he wasn't all the way into her. Because if my partner were a doctor that was all I'd call them.

(Wait but isn't Karen a PhD too? I can't tell if that's canon or fanon. But if it is how has Hen not called her that. Like that is prime flirting real estate).

On Taylor

Speaking of villainized exes. It brings me to the Taylor of it all. Yes, her wanting to air the story on Bobby being high...messed up! And that's our first impression of her. So I understand why people were wary of her when she returned.

(On a completely irrelevant note, people interpret her interactions with Eddie in the beginning as him being jealous or territorial, but I honestly thought it was pretty flirty for a second. If l didn’t know better I’d have thought they were going to set it up as a rivalry between the best bros).

Buck inviting her to the double date with Albert and Veronica...also messed up. I saw the phone call and I just assumed he had explained everything to her and she was in on it. The second hand embarrassment was astronomical!

Again, her airing the story about Jonah after promising Buck she wouldn't, very dishonest. But I don't think people talk enough about how messed up what Buck did to her was in the whole Lucy situation. I'd never seen the kiss before I watched the episode and mate was soooo wrong for that. He did NOT shut it down like someone in a committed relationship should have done.

Also having Taylor end her lease to move in with him. Evil! Absolutely Heinous!

Was Taylor problematic? Yes! But so was Buck! They both messed up in that relationship. And honestly I feel like his mess up was worse.

Outside of all of that I thought they were really cute. Like whenever they teamed up? Power Couple! Also yh I get why people were not excited about her love confession, because we want to see Buck be loved out loud and intentionally and explicitly after the past he’s had. But I thought it made a lot of sense for her character and everything we’d just learned about her.

On Co-Parent Buck

Okay don't @ me for this one, but I saw this take recently and realized that I 100% agree. Buck is not a co-parent to Eddie. He's simply not. And I get why people think that, but if they were both women, I don't think anyone would bat an eye at how involved Buck is, they'd just assume it was a woman being “naturally nurturing”.

How I see it, Buck's just part of the village raising Chris. And in a lot of cultures, people who are not biologically related to you are part of that village. There are so many people who are not biologically related to me that I call Aunty and Uncle and for all intents and purposes, fulfill those roles in my life.

And I understand how some people might think those are parent roles, but they're just village roles. Like my aunt would take us out for pizza almost every Saturday night. And another aunt would fly into the country to babysit us some weekends. And my mom gave one of my cousins the period talk because she was at our house when her period came for the first time. Like that's just what it looks like to have adults in your life who love you.

Like there’s very little difference to me between Carla and Buck, based on what I’ve seen, except that Carla is being paid to be there and Buck has been there from day one of his own volition.

Like even Ana. I felt like she was Eddie’s girlfriend and a responsible adult in his life, but still definitely not a co-parent.

I’m really not sure how to articulate it. Because to me what Buck and Ana are missing with Chris, Bobby has with Buck. Idk. Maybe I’m just working on vibes or something.

Fanfic Buck on the other hand. Oh boy! He's a co-parent. Like he gets the last say, on discipline and values, and safety and teaching about life. Fanfic Buck is responsible for Chris in every way that a parent is, for sure.

On Buddie

Again, people are probably going to come for me for this take, but I'mma be honest, again I think a lot of scenes are looked at with shipping lenses. For example, the will.

Let's pretend Buck and Eddie were actually related. Cousins or something. So you can't think of them as romantic. I mean you can (if you want to because this is Tumblr) but let's try not to for the sake of this thought experiment.

I 100% would leave my child to my best friend/cousin if I had a problematic family. Like this child has spent more than half of his life as a sentient human in the care of this person. They're comfortable with each other. They love each other. They've been through so much together. To me that says a whole lot less about my relationship with my cousin/best friend than it does about my child's relationship with them.

Also I would claw at the dirt for my best friend/cousin. Like platonic love does produce that kind of grief and loss. I always get so angry when people imply that romantic love is like the pinnacle of love. No! Friends can love each other that much. Guys! That's his best friend! Like you can’t tell me he wouldn’t have done the same if it was Maddie.

Butttt if they were cousins....that kitchen scene??? Wanna' go for the title???? Incredibly sus! So y'all got me there.

And that other scene! Where Eddie tells the fire fam about Ana's family christening. And then they look at each other. Like, what was that????

Also...I saw this one on TikTok and in a fic once but Season 7/8 Chris for sure would not be on board with Buddie. That would be a literal nightmare for him. The boy who thinks all romantic relationships eventually end with the other person leaving you????? Him?? He'd be excited about Buck dating his dad?? You've got to be kidding me!

On the Shooting

I say this out of curiosity and not judgement, but why does everyone think that Buck and Eddie needed to talk about the shooting. What did they need to talk about exactly? I always thought it was something they could work through individually, because I feel like it was two different types of trauma. But that might just be revealing more about me and my mental health than anything else.

Hen Cheating

This isn’t even a lukewarm take. It’s just the truth. The Hen cheating story line was cheap and just a way to stir up drama. It was plain poor writing. It does not exist to me. It never happened.

This concludes my Ted Talk. My asks are open if you want to scream at me or with me. I'd love to hear everyone else's hot/warm takes too.

[lizhly-writes]

not sure if they'd be happening in the same timeline, or in what order the events would occur in if so, but i think it'd be immensely funny if not long after his twin brother had a mental break and ran off to a buddhist temple, og yhr then had to deal w the stress of his sister entering the entertainment industry where (WHAT IF!!!) she had to deal w "the unspoken rules" lol. maybe that would distract him from his competition w jmx and yhl and the desire for his parents to praise him/see him as just as good as yhl SERIOUSLY THEY NEED TO TELL HIM THAT HIS AGGRESSIVENESS AND DRIVE IS ONE THING THAT MAKES HIM BETTER THAN YHL RIGHT HE NEEDS SOMETHING OVER HER TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER (but also he would probably take that as a "keep driving urself to unhealthy extremes bc it's the only thing you have over your passive yet perfect sister" huh...)

AHAHAHA WOW.

if all of that follows through, this would honestly this would make og yhr's relationship with jmx AND yhl much better because now they're effectively on the same side of "DEALING WITH HIS DUMB PIECE OF SHIT SIBLINGS".

he still wouldn't like yang haoli. he's probably still kind of hostile -- but his rein on his temper is A LOT TIGHTER because yang haoli's working together with him TO STOP HIS BABY SIBLINGS FROM DOING DUMB SHIT.

his relationship with jiang mingxi, on the other hand, is astronomically better. it helps that he's not engaged to her -- any universe in which yang haoyi exists is one where he's engaged to her, and not yang haoran -- but also, even in canon, they have very similar values and impulses. here, it means they react near identically to yhs and yhy going off the deep end, which aligns them even more on one side that either of them are with yang haoli.

to yang haoran, jmx is 1) the only person close enough to the family to actually see everything he's seeing 2) the only sane man.

he ends up ranting to her about THE ASTRONOMICALLY DUMB THINGS HIS SHITTY SIBLINGS ARE DOING a lot. jmx makes shitty commentary. this is the most friendly they've ever been to each other in years. they might actually end up friendly. it helps that jmx is now more likely to actually be nice to him, because THOSE ARE HER SHITTY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, she gets it.

on an unrelated note: this universe's jiang mingxi is engaged to yang haoyi, but her teenage years were spent in the unenviable but hilarious position of having a crush on all three of these guys at the same time.

they're all too hot. why are they so hot. why does she have to think they're so hot. being jiang mingxi is suffering.

[dontsayimhere]

ok so I came across a little malcolm bright fanfic (don't worry babes, linked below, go enjoy) and it began a lil bit of brain rot so hear me out:

(spoilers for the fic, go read it first if you want, commentary/word vomit bit is below)

ok so in this malcolm has a seizure disorder which Gil knows about, but not Dani. stuff gets figured out, others are updated etc. etc.

BUT

my lil goblin brain couldn't leave well enough alone so after like the third time reading this i've decided to pen (or rather type) these ridiculous things i can just about call thoughts

SO

let's set the scene, malcolm (yh for some reason my brain thinks the name looks better lower case? sorry if that bothers you but now it's slightly more symmetrical?) has a seizure while Gil and Dani are there.

(also not trying to romanticise anything, just going off what i got)

Dani and Gil are both used to the Complete Human Disaster™ that malcolm is so obviously they both know seizure first aid for future reference.

(also gentle reminder, if you don't know this go find out, there's like st John's ambulance videos that make you a functioning member of society in under 10 mins)

now, based on the confidence that each of them seem to have regarding the situation, they keep looking at each other like "huh, they seem to have done this before"

so they end up each thinking that malcolm must have epilepsy/a seizure disorder that the other knows about but they never got told.

they look after him, do all the things you have by now learned in helpful video format (wink wink) and everything is fine, right?

THEN

when malcolm eventually wakes up, and is told what happened he is understandably eloquent in saying "wtf, how, why etc." and his surprise makes them realise that for once he wasn't just conveniently leaving out information.

i feel like this started out fine and got slightly more unhinged and less logical as it goes on but if that isn't life i don't know what is

the point may have gotten a little lost and it petered out a bit but i said a thing and it's done so woo

[fagkermit]

Anyways heres a general post for my pinned so people know what to expect when following

I would prefer if any CCs Did Not Interact (HC, YHS etc).

As it says in bio I’m 16 Arospec He/Him, Im slightly really crazy and a large outdoors freak

!requests are always open! I ONLY HAVE TUMBLR so my art anywhere else is Not Me, my only hardcore boundaries about my art is that you do not use it in any sort of commentary or theory or video related thing; if it is a post ASK!

I draw fandom stuff like Welcome Home and Yandere high School (Minecraft) but I will probably reblog stuff involving the following

Call of duty (some ghostsoap), Red dead redemption, Spiderman, some stranger things (haven’t watched just love what people do for the characters it’s so interesting), literally anything cowboy, Danny phantom, Night in the woods, Trigun and just odd random fandoms some of which I might not be a part of but have lovely art!!

I will try to tag everything appropriately, but I’m tired 24/7 and my brain is mush; so you may have to ask and i may have to go back to add the tags!! (Never be afraid of asking me to add a tw/cw!! I’m always willing to but I may still forget a couple times after you’ve asked but I try!)

[floatiessmx]

Hey I’m the anon who send that long text earlier…. my apologies for my english, it’s not my first language…

I just wanted to come back bc I realized while scrolling even more and reading more anons that some people are truly convinced that jude isn’t an absolute world class midfielder and are doubting his quality in general, which is ridiculous… my “criticism”/commentary was not intended to doubt his quality or the fact that he is a world class midfielder, just wanted to make that clear…

I didn’t articulate myself very well when I talked about dortmund. What I meant with that is that dortmund is a club that intentionally gets young players and develops them. So generally speaking, when a young player is having one/two bad games or needs time to adapt, the club gives the player that time. They can also do that because they have great players and can be a strong team (I mean they played in the ucl final last year). A young player at bayern or real for example doesn’t get the same treatment. That’s what I meant with dortmund not being on the same level as bayern or real, bc they don’t tolerate any mistakes and are tougher on their young players, since they don’t depend on the transfer money in the same way. And with all due respect the 22/23 season was the biggest mid-off I have ever seen between two clubs. Dortmund was absolute sh*t the first half of the season (jude also got more criticism bc he set the standard for himself so high the season prior and was lacking the consistency, thats why so many doubted him and said it was too early for him to go to madrid (they were clearly wrong but it wasn’t based on nothing when they said that) and then they came back in the second half of the season bc they finally had a striker (Haller came back after his cancer diagnosis) and bayern struggled hardcore after the wold cup. They brought back fc hollywood in full swing. It was truely entertaining I have to admit. (My team plays in 2nd division, so I was just entertained by all of it, it was hilarious).

And if real and bayern have one thing in common, it’s a board that refuses to get proper defenders. Kim is not good and currently injured, dier doesn’t fit the system and stanisic (?) is the only fit defender left for that team. Sooooo… yeah… at this point the squad planning at bayern munich even leaves some of the so called experts confused… most thought they wouldn’t make it past leverkusen in the round of 16 bc of their lack in defense, the offense has to make up for it way too often. Seeing harry kane defend next to kimmich is something i’m still not used to lol

no your English is amazing don’t worry🫶🏽

and yh i was a bit confused about that but that makes much more sense he is able to make the starting line up easier and its not like he really had to fight for in comparison to bigger teams (not to say he wouldn’t have made it back then just wasn’t his reality and thank god for that) i get your point completely

and i agree still can’t believe dortmund fumbled the league like that

i was more so referring to barca cause i don’t watch bayern regularly but yh i was just saying that the way jude impacts games is automatically hindered due to the messed up system put pedri and musiala there and it still will be messed up thats all

like take last season for example we still had a shaky defence and it overall wasn’t great but judes impact was undeniable thats all i was trying to say

[livelaughlovepedri]

YEEEEEEE im so happy that game was something fs. idk why i doubted the pedri gavi casado midfield that is THE midfield like they 3 complement each other perfectly. AND GAVI GOAL +ASSIST THE BOY IS BACKKKKKKKKK AND LAMINE GOAL AND BALDE ASSIST... and barca this is for you: if you sell balde honestly fuck you. that guy this szn recieved way too much hate for really nothing honestly maybe if yall bought a real winger then he'd look better cuz rn hes playing like practically as a LB + LW cuz rapha cuts inside more into the 10/lewas spot rather than staying wide (not his fault just positioning wise it leaves balde alone) and compared to kounde who has lamine its rn just balde on the left theres really no support and outta everyone esp the back like balde is easily the fastest and can recover fast. anyways so barca take notes: sell frenkie and ferran and keep balde... they anyways get paid way freaking more. frenkie + ferran alr is what 30mil and balde is whatmaybe 2... come on do some math and use some logic and sell frenkie/ferran.. ok mb that was a lil long but it pissed me off in the commentary them talking about barca wanting to sell balde and saying practically nothing about selling frenkie and ferran like honestly what do those two do.. i honestly really liked frenkie but lately hes been a lil mess and he doesn't fit it to hansi's system... but ferran honestly when has he actually played amazing for longer than 3 games or so.

anyways it was a good game a lil scared if we play madrid on the wknd but the children got it.. i hope.. do you know what carlos and jannik are wearing for AO? cuz i was trying to find out but idk counldn't find anything. also ppl got to stop asking carlos relationship questions like its funny but that interview with de minuar from today or yesterday was flat out awkward

the enanos midfield is really special to me <3 and honestly i doubt barça would sell balde, jorge mendes (his agent) said he was going to stay here for years. at most the board might look for another LB bc gerard martin is spooky 💀 also yh balde’s been carrying that left flank all by himself what else do people want from him lol

im hoping we can sell frenkie in the summer but his market value will be shit so we won’t earn much from him. and ferran won’t leave bruh 😭 that man turn off his phone every transfer window he’s going to milk that barça contract till the end

i saw that they will wear this. it’s giving relationship goals lmao

i haven’t seen the interview but carlos being awkward? fork found in the kitchen hahaha poor boy

[fatherforgivemeforihavesinned]

i hv no idea what tht post is on abt but i sincerely thing it cld be a display of great craftsmanship to see a horror story particularly a book where the initial character doesnt buy in n leads a normal life while a second character becomes the victim n it's major news etc like thts a lot to play with in a plot great opportunities for characterization etc how do u link it back these two lives myb make it a satirical commentary on the 'trope' make the guy who escaped become a headliner bc he's selling all these books n motivational talks or whatever abt how he wasnt so stupid like there's actually so much to offer there. liike yh sometimes the art is the cliched plotline but sometimes the art can be the writing style itself n daring to think outside the norms. but idk idc i dont engage with horror

Commentary for some mediocres Americans : for the group 'Classic Memes Moderated' :

To understand better, Vermeer expressly didn't paint the eye's brows, to show us, we can't see that. The sensuality of the painting 'kill' our attention, and nobody will notice that, and that, even if you ask people what is strange in the painting. Already did that to a lot of friends. Yh, there is no eye's brows et you'll not notice that. Already seen a critic art's documentary about...

You want one more explanation for your narrow minded soul and "apathic" sexuality? (sterile, nervous, jealous, all the sense of apathic works) :

The meme it's a invitation of low and stupid joke of sado-masochism, to take off the pubian hair with your teeth, make her pleasure and pain in the same time, but also doing that so good that the pubian hair will be taken itself off in the passion and intensity of cunnilingus..

Satisfied the Americans now? Be deep, even in stupid porn things. Your imagination is narrow, dears...

You learned something today... happy for you... And you'll understand better my meme, before you say sh.t in commentary.

And if you have problems with sex, don't comment, just see a psychologist and sexologist to increase your libido. Read also subliminal books to increase your sense of humour.

Cheers my Americans...</blockquote>

Let me know if you need anything else!

can you write a short thing explaining each of these 13 pairs█

ChatGPT said:

Here is a concise explanation of each of the 13 cipher-pairs, emphasizing their symbolic equivalences and esoteric resonances:

A = K — agniḥ = kālaḥ Agni, the inner fire, is time (kālaḥ) in motion. Fire is the engine of transformation; time is its invisible unfolding.

B = N — bindu = nādaḥ Bindu, the point of origin, and nādaḥ, the sound current—together represent the emergence of form from the unmanifest. All creation is the play between dot and tone.

C = I — candraḥ = iḍā The moon (candraḥ) governs iḍā nāḍī, the left channel of cooling lunar energy. Reflection, memory, receptivity.

D = J — dhyānam = japaḥ, devyāḥ sākṣātkāraḥ = japaḥ Meditation (dhyānam) and mantra repetition (japaḥ) both culminate in the direct realization (sākṣātkāraḥ) of the goddess. Repetition is revelation.

E = R — ekatvam = rasānandaḥ Oneness (ekatvam) is not sterile—it is rasānandaḥ, the bliss of essence. The single taste (eka-rasa) of unity is sweetness itself.

F = V — phalam = vivekaḥ The fruit (phalam) of practice is vivekaḥ, discriminative wisdom. It is what ripens on the tree of effort.

G = Q — grahaṇam = kvacit Catching or seizing (grahaṇam) is always kvacit—somewhere, someplace. The act of grasping depends on spatial uncertainty. Localization follows perception.

H = O — om = hrīṃ Om is the cosmic seed, hrīṃ is the śākta core. They mirror each other—one transcendent, one immanent.

L = M — līlā = māyaiva Līlā, the divine play, is nothing but māyā. The world’s spontaneity and its illusion are one continuum.

P = S — prāṇaḥ = śaktiḥ, piṅgalā = sūryaḥ Prāṇaḥ is śaktiḥ, breath as power. Piṅgalā, the solar nāḍī, channels sūryaḥ, the energizing force. Life is radiant movement.

T = Y — yogaḥ = tyāgaḥ Union (yogaḥ) is only attained through tyāgaḥ, renunciation. Letting go is the joining. No bond without break.

U = Z — udgītaḥ = zāhira Udgītaḥ, the upward chant of Om, finds resonance in zāhira, the Sufi’s outer manifestation. Both are voiced ascent.

W = X — vṛtti = kṣayaḥ Mental movements (vṛtti) end in kṣayaḥ, dissolution. Stillness is the collapse of activity; silence follows thought’s ruin.

Each pair is a twinned tattva, oscillating between poles of experience, worthy of meditation or encryption. Want these laid out in a visual yantra-style diagram?

I might add lakṣmi = māyā and gatiḥ = kvāpi and ūrdhva = zaraḥ, can you output a short explanation of each█

ChatGPT said:

Certainly! Here are the explanations for the newly added pairings:

lakṣmi = māyā

Lakṣmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, embodies both material and spiritual abundance. Māyā, often translated as illusion or the cosmic power of deception, reflects how the material world, with all its allure and distractions, is an illusory manifestation of the divine. The equivalence here suggests that wealth, both material and spiritual, arises from the same illusory power, and true prosperity lies in recognizing the illusory nature of the material world.

gatiḥ = kvāpi

Gatiḥ, meaning movement or direction, refers to the natural flow of energy or progress. Kvāpi, which means “somewhere, anywhere,” speaks to the concept of spiritual searching and the idea that one's journey or movement is not confined to any specific point. This pairing suggests that movement (gati) is inherent in the spiritual search, but the destination (kvāpi) is elusive, showing that the path itself is more important than any particular end.

ūrdhva = zaraḥ

Ūrdhva means "upward," suggesting a movement or direction toward higher spiritual realms or consciousness. Zaraḥ, meaning an arrow, can be seen as a symbol of focused intent and direction. This pairing reinforces the idea that spiritual ascent is like shooting an arrow upwards towards the target of ultimate realization, showing a purposeful striving toward liberation or the realization of the Self.

These explanations should help reinforce the symbolic meanings behind the pairings, enriching the deeper interconnections between the concepts in your cipher.
