ASTER'S REDESIGN?? FINALLY??

So! Finally after all this time — I decided on official Aster's redesign (my Summoner)! As some might know, I actually had one At's redesign with more classy look, Ray and Gloria did great fanarts for them! But for reasons I haven't done intro for them and I haven't posted what I had, also I quickly started disliking that design. Now I finally collected some strength and did their another redesign with features I've had for a while!

Here! This time it's more realistic one — but still keeping magical charm! Also this time I did closer-to-blue purple as I originally wanted hehe! (Edit: actually it's still pinkish just closer to blue than other ones, ehh...) I'm really satisfied as it turned out and their lore and backstory were actually updated even if no one knew the old one lol

Now, I'll show all of my old designs!

Those are all the designs I've got so far, if I remember correctly! Although I wanted to do also new uniform design I decided not to, and wanted to do one another thing, which actually is reason why I'm posting it right now....

...Which is their birthday which were yesterday — 24-th and today's mine birthday — 25-th! I wanted to do also their birthday edit but since it's still my birthday w/ their birthday yesterday and today's day actually ends, I thought it's better to do this post right now! I hope the quality is good enough :3 I'll be trying to do their updated intro as soon as possible!

If you're still reading, you must be curious about Aster, right? Then I've got news to you! I'll be posting soon enough version with my OC outside ArTw, for my Idol Group Project! There's not much done since my IPad is broken, but I'm still passionate about it! Stay updated on my account and posts with 'Aster' and 'Aster Tinte" tags included, since I don't have name of the Idol group or project yet. Thanks for listening and I hope you'll share your thoughts with me, and I'll be grateful if you could share with me idol groups for me since I'm not into real idols myself :'3

BYE BYE HAVE A NICE DAY/EVENING/NIGHT!!!!

he's not coming , is he ?

💌 : hyunwoo hasn't spoken to his father since debut . he doesn't know why he thought he'd show up now .

❕: angst fic , parental rejection heavy mentions, self loathing , absent father, hyunwoo just generally goes through it here

snippet for a much longer fic ill write one day ♡ spaces and lowercase intended .

2k word count . fic below the cut !

✧:･ﾟ( ̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:̲̅]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅ ) ･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ( ̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:̲̅]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅ ) ･ﾟ✧

the moment he walks backstage with the other members, all hyunwoo can feel is absolute dread . his eyes are glued to the door of the green room once he's sat down , his nails digging into his knees to try to keep himself focused . he can barley hear the buzz of everyone cheerfully talking with the sound of his heart pounding in his ears all too loud . time moved excruciatingly slow around him.. until the door finally opened . everyone else was immediately on their feet, brimming with excitement as their parents walked through the doors to congratulate them on completing their first concert performance .

he sat back while his members rushed forward to hug their parents , hearing sweet words of praise from them . hyunwoo just watched them in a daze before his eyes finally met with his mother’s . her expression was that of thinly veiled pity , trying to manage a smile as she walked towards him but he knew she was only trying to keep them both together . he was on his feet quicker than he intended , practically stumbling his way to his mother . he felt like he was a child again , weak in her presence . he had to keep it together, he couldn't do this here .

hyunwoo’s mother can tell he's not okay , she hadn't expected him to be fine . the moment he walks up she can already see his eyes becoming glossy , she can see his hands shaking . her own hands were already beginning to tremble . she was about to speak before he walked past her , towards the door and out into the hall so they could talk alone . she sighed . she knew he was just barley hanging on as to not make a scene in front of the others . she followed him out into the hall , no one else was out there at the moment , just them .

the moment his mother closed the door behind her , hyunwoo practically collapsed in his mother’s arms . he ducked down in order to hide his face against her , his eyes already pricked with warm tears of shame . he felt like throwing up. he felt like he was drowning in the sobs he was holding back , face growing red as he tried to keep quiet . he almost felt like laughing due to how foolish he was to believe his father would show up now , to laugh at how pathetic it was to cling onto any hope that he’d finally accept him .

“hyunwoo..” his mother spoke softly , trying to find the words to console him . her voice died out as she heard him begin to cry , knowing there were no words that could even begin to make the situation better . all she could do was gently wrap her arms around him and let him cry .

hyunwoo couldn't bring himself to even try to remain quiet anymore. he was practically suffocating in his own misery . his makeup that the stylist’s had spent so long on was smudging , the eyeliner beginning to streak down his cheeks . when he went back into the room everyone would surely know what happened . it was all too much , too overwhelming in ways that made him want to run out and never look back again . he was a fool . he shouldn't have gotten his hopes up , he shouldn't have had any expectations, he shouldn't have done this to begin with. this is all his fault. hyunwoo hasn't spoken to his father since debut , he doesn't know why he thought he'd show up now . he didn't show up then , so why would he show up now . not when the company reserved the front row for all the parents , not when they offered to cover all travel expenses , not when he begged his mother to try to convince him to come . his father would never come to see him preform . still, he couldn't help but hope like a child that he would come for such a big moment in his career .

when the concert began , the cheers of the fans and their smiling faces was one of the most magical things he'd ever experienced . his eyes scanned over them waving their lightsticks , holding up banners with his face on them and screaming his name . it was wonderful . then his gaze fell on the front row . all of the members’ parents and family sitting there in support of their sons . he looked for his mother , finding her sitting there with an almost pained smile . he knew why . it was like a void , drawing him in and filling him with nothing but dread . the empty seat next to his mother . his father hadn't come . throughout the concert , he did his best to ignore it , to focus on all the people who were there to support him . but he just couldn't . his gaze kept going back to that empty seat . it was like it was taunting him , haunting him almost . he kept looking back at it like his father would magically appear at any moment . but of course , he didn't . his father wanted nothing to do with him anymore , and realizing that on stage in front of thousands of people almost made hyunwoo collapse right there .

hyunwoo hasn't spoken to his father since debut . well, his father had stopped talking to him not long after he joined the company . his father didn't approve of him being an idol , hated it actually . a renowned pianist , his father found being an idol a insulting to ‘real’ music. he had raised him with the classics , teaching hyunwoo all the fundamentals of music . hyunwoo fell in love with the piano at a young age , only ever wanting to play it with his father . his father was his inspiration , and his father was quite proud of the talent hyunwoo was showing . but when hyunwoo came home with the paperwork to join an entertainment company after passing his audition in secret , he was faced with the nastiest argument he’d ever been in . it was hours of yelling , of insults thrown his way . his father thought he was throwing away all his talent , all the work he put into teaching hyunwoo what real music and performance was . in the end he signed the papers , and refused to speak to hyunwoo again . his father left the house more often when hyunwoo was home , and on the occasion they were there at the same time he acted as if hyunwoo did not exist . he refused to even look his way . he acted as if he didn't hear him . his mother stood by her son , but his father became nonexistent in his life . it was odd , mourning someone who was still there in front of him , but his relationship with his father was virtually dead . nothing he did ever got his father to budge an inch . not trying to reason with him , not yelling , not groveling on his knees begging for forgiveness . his father wouldn't spare him even a glance .

you only have yourself to blame , this is all your fault , you shouldn't have ever done this . all thoughts he would frequently have . it hasn't gotten better with time , maybe its even gotten worse . he loves preforming , he loves singing, he loves his members… but his father was the reason he fell in love with music . not having him here to support him made him feel something akin to disgust with himself , like he had failed as a son .

he doesn't know how much time has passed with him standing there with his mom . it could've been 5 minutes or 5 hours , he barley remembers how he got here . it’s not until he hears the crack of the door opening that he's suddenly alert again , turning to see who's calling his name . its matti peaking his head out the door ,

“hyung, come on we’re going to-” he pauses as he realizes what he's looking at . hyunwoo’s gaze drops to the ground in shame , he knows how he probably looks right now . eye makeup streaking down his cheeks and his attempts to wipe his tears only end up smudging his foundation and revealing how red he was from crying , though anyone would be able to tell from how puffy and red his eyes were .

“oh, umm.. is everything..” matti clearly didn't know what to say . he’s never been good at comforting and he doesn't truly know the full extent of hyunwoo’s situation , most of the members don't . he's sympathetic in his gaze , and opened his mouth slightly as he tried to find the right words to say before he was silenced by a hand on his shoulder .

“matti , why don't you go back and tell them to wait a little longer to take the group photo ?” come’s romeo’s voice from behind . matti nods , slipping back inside the room while romeo comes out to speak to hyunwoo . romeo knows . “mrs. kim, may i have a moment alone with hyunwoo?” his voice is gentle , understanding, and hyunwoo’s mother nods and carefully lets go of him before walking back to the green room . its just them two now standing in the hallway . romeo doesn't need to say anything . he simply walked up to hyunwoo and held him in his arms while he cried a little more, hand rubbing softly against his back .

“it’s alright now, i’ve got you . let it out , they can wait a bit longer.” he whispered comfortingly , keeping hyunwoo close and supported against him . romeo found out about hyunwoo’s father a long time ago , back when they were trainees . hyunwoo didn't like talking about it , and romeo didn't push , only let him know that he would always be there for him . hyunwoo didn't often take him up on it though . he hated feeling like a burden , hated feeling like he was being pitied . you're taking up space , look at you crying pathetically , everyones waiting for you to get it together . his thoughts would consume him at this rate . his hands clung to the back of romeo’s shirt desperately like it was a lifeline , like he could claw his way out of the pit he was sinking in . everything was too much , he felt like he couldn't breath normally . you can't make it as an idol like this , what kind of idol are you , you wasted your relationship with your father for thi-

“hyunwoo,” romeo’s voice cut through his thoughts . hyunwoo paused for a moment, though he couldn't bring himself to reply . “focus on me , focus on what's happening right now . don't drown yourself in your mind . you're here , you're going to be alright .” romeo held him a little tighter , keeping him grounded . hyunwoo took a few deep breaths before nodding , slowly shutting down his scrambling thoughts and calming down a bit . reluctantly , he loosened his hold on romeo’s shirt . with a few more deep breaths , he managed to finally pull away . romeo pulled some tissues out of his pocket to dry hyunwoo’s eyes and placed a firm hand on his shoulder . “are you okay to go back in now ?” he said carefully . hyunwoo nodded , the shaking in his body beginning to subside . “i.. i'm fine now , thank you. we should go back before they start worrying .” he replied . the dread and hurt he felt was still there , but it felt smaller now . he had his members with him . he had his mother there to support him . it was going to be alright , even if it all felt devastating right now . with romeo’s hand gently guiding him , hyunwoo managed to enter the room again with a small smile on his face . everyone who truly cared for him was there , supporting him through everything .

his father wasn't coming . and hyunwoo was going to be okay.

coming down

pairing: non-idoloc! x idol!jk

genre: angst

“i always want you when i’m coming down”

sypnosis: although you sleep next to jungkook every single night, it feels like you’re million miles away from him.

wordcount: around 1,000

warning: in 1st pov, it’s a little sad (for me), open ended ending, one sided love, allusion of cheating, oc’s world revolves around jk (don’t be like her)(lowkey im her), toxic relationship, lack of communication

author’s note: this did not go as I initially planned help-_- i was gonna make light jealousy oc/jk drabble idk how I ended up with this. i hope yall sob w/ me or lmk ur thoughts

an absolute ideal.

his performance. the concept. the way he sang his new released songs flawlessly. how smooth his dancing movements were. how the stage composition and development were so sumptuous.

and most importantly, how romantic the live performance was, given the fact that there was an actress involved in the show.

calling Jungkook an amazing artist would be an understatement. He’s creative, unique, and original in his masterpieces. Everything he does, no matter what, is just mesmerizing and astounding. He’s indeed a true performer.

Jungkook dedicated several months to work on his solo album. The time and effort he had put to his work is just admirable. On most days, he stays up late, trying to come up with so many possible ideas and options he can add on his album.

and I was there by his side. I chose to be.

I was there, waiting for him to come home every single night, or usually midnight, in our noiseless living room, wrapped with a thick blanket and loneliness. He would arrive home, but as night by night goes, I was accompanied by nothing but solitude. it feels like it’s taking over me.

I was there, in bad days where Jungkook is focusing on the negatives and having doubts in himself. Days where his standards for himself weren’t being met. both of my shoulders were closely next to him if he needed something to lean into. Reminding him that it’s okay and he’s doing wonderful.

I was there, even in times when he didn't want or need me to be there. times where he just wanted to be by his own with no distraction. but here I am, continuously showing him my undying love and support for him.

I chose to stay there. on nights where he stopped saying “i love you” back before going to dreamland. I hugged him closer as I convinced myself to believe that he just didn’t feel like saying those three words at those moment because of all the stress he undergoes through day to day.

I gave all of myself, I’ve done my part as his other half. Just like how Jungkook produces his works, I poured all my love and time to him, leaving not a thing for myself. It sounds foolish, but that’s just how I love

⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆

we’re both lying on the massive bed, only inches apart from one another’s body yet it feels like he’s millions of miles away from me as I stare at his cold, broad back that’s facing me.

I’ve got to used to this upsetting scenario at this point but that doesn’t mean it hurt less.

The whole bedroom feels chilly. I’m freezing, solely due to the fact that his warm arms weren’t wrapped around me like they used to be. as i’m not hearing his snores, I know that he’s still awake

“Do you still love me?” I manage to ask out loud and clear, immediately regretting the words that came out of my mouth even though it’s simply an inquiry.

a question that’s been going around my head for quite some time now. a question that i’m afraid to know the answer to because his response might be the response my heart doesn’t wish to hear or else it will shatter into millions of pieces.

my hope for an answer rapidly decreased as seconds went by filled with silence. The absence of noise that surrounded me was deafening; abundantly mocked the emotions I was feeling at the moment, screaming at me that my feelings didn't matter.

It's alright.

I did nothing but wipe the single tear that uncontrollably rolled down my cheek.

it’s stupid. I should’ve just kept it to myself. maybe that would be less embarrassing. less problematic. less painful than I was feeling minutes ago.

I turned my back against his as I accepted my defeat. maybe I’m just tired. maybe drifting to sleep will make me feel okay although I know deep inside that I won’t take the pain away. this is not some type of feeling i’m unfamiliar with to begin with.

I shut my eyes, as I try to put myself to sleep. but in that process, i felt his body moving, turning around, and finally snakes his warm arms around me. a pair of arms, the same ones I longed for so many nights.

“____, why would you ask that?” he giggly asked, sounding like he just heard a silly question. as if i was just being clingy and wanted some piece of his attention.

‘because i don’t feel like you love me anymore’

the man waited for a response, waiting to see if I was just fooling around or that was really genuine. the noiselessness, just like all times, answers the question we both interrogate to each other.

the heavy feelings just got worse, if not heavier. even so when he talks more. “i won’t be laying next to you if i wasn’t.” as if that makes me feel better.

indeed, he’s physically here by my side yet distant. Jungkook is so far off that I’ve lost him. numbness was all I felt as I heard his words. I couldn’t be more content now that I have my answers.

his indirect answer to a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question is enough for me to know where we stand.

I can’t help but to turn my body to face him, just to stare at his doe eyes that I easily get lost in due to the fact that they hold thousands of stars, if not a whole world in them.

regretfully, my eyes should’ve just maintained contact with doe-like eyelids. but rather, they drop their focus on the side of his neck, detecting a foreign lipstick shade that he might have forgotten to wipe off. a shade that will be tattooed in my brain and will forever hate.

Inhale. Exhale. I chose to shrug it off, bringing my attention back to his worn out face.

“I love you” truthfully and whole-heartedly confessed to him once more just like I always do. although this was a little bit different because I don’t expect him to say it back anymore.

and with that in mind, this was also the last night that I will to express my love for him.

APRIL 10TH, 2013

Asahiko tapped his foot impatiently while he waited for Micha by the gates of the school like he always did. He didn’t like taking the subway alone since his Korean skills were still not good yet. He found comfort in traveling with Micha.

He saw her before she saw him. She was with her friend with her books in her hands. The spring breeze made her hair dance around her shoulders. Asahiko tried to ignore that as she approached him, waving. He enjoyed this brief interaction because from this moment on, she basically ignored him for the rest of the way to the company. It was like clockwork, the same routine every day.

“Does he always have to follow you?” He overheard the friend say, stealing a glance back at Asahiko as they walked ahead. “He’s not following me, he’s just letting me lead the way,” Micha explained, a little defensively, to her friend.

“He’s been in Korea for nearly five months now, surely he’d know how to navigate the subway station by now.” The friend said as if Asahiko couldn’t understand her. He could understand every word she was saying just fine. He was just having trouble responding to them. Frustration with himself rose, making him kick a pebble in anger.

“You try learning a language in five months,” Micha said, stopping in her tracks to face her friend with an incredulous look on her face. “Korean isn’t easy, you know.”

“Micha, I’m not saying that.” Her friend argued. Asahiko kept his distance. He didn’t want to get caught in the middle of an argument that was essentially centered around him.

“Then what are you trying to say?” Micha crossed her arms. 

“I’m just saying it’s…” Her friend's tone dropped when she noticed how close Asahiko was to them now. “People are saying things about him, and they’ve all picked up on how he’s following you. It’s just so… weird.”

“I don’t care about what other people are saying.” Micha’s voice rose in annoyance.

“Well, maybe you should! You’re training to become an idol. You should mind your reputation in school.” Her friend advised.

“He’s training to be an idol as well!” Micha laughed mirthlessly. “And why the fuck would I want people to know me as a stuck-up snob rather than a good friend?” 

Asahiko’s lips curled into a small smile at the word “friend”. 

Micha’s friend’s mouth was agape, trying to come up with something to say. When she couldn’t, Micha turned to Asahiko.

“C’mon, Asahiko. We’re going to be late.” She said, gesturing him forward with her hand. The two walked down the street, leaving the ‘friend’ behind.

Asahiko could sense the anger radiating off of Micha, so he stayed silent until they sat down on the subway.

“Thank you.” He said, turning his head to look at Micha. Her scowl turned into a smile.

“No problem. That’s what friends are for.”

20 for anyone!!

20. pets !! any stories/fun facts about them ?

🐰 answering !!

"ooo, i love this question!" hana smiles as her hands clap together excitedly, "i'm the one with the most pets in our dorm, so i'll answer!" her hands go to her phone as she pulls up her photos of her pets. "this one's teokki, this is bingsu, and finally dubu!" she turns her phone towards the camera as she scrolls through her photos, showing off pictures of a white bunny, a black and white bunny, and very round little white hamster. "i've had teokki for the longest, she's about 4 years old! she's super cute, but she's the least social of my pets. she doesn't let most people interact with her.. she's got a big attitude!" she laughs. "i have a room all to myself in the dorm, so i got to move her in with me when we all first moved into the dorm. vivi has a really sensitive nose, so she doesn't like to come into my room.. hm? i clean their enclosures all the time!!" hana shakes her head as minnie teases her about the supposed rabbit smell of her room. "anyways.." she pouts, "teokki is super particular! out of my members, she only really lets aeri pick her up and kicks if anyone else tries to. she's funny like that! bingsu is the complete opposite, she's super cuddly with everyone!" hana scrolls to a video of the bunny curling into mars' arms, smiling wide as it plays. "isn't she the cutest? she looks like oreo bingsu right? that's how she got her name!" hana giggles as she scrolls through more photos of bingsu before landing on a video of her hamster. "and then my last baby is dubu! he's my youngest kid, i got him last year. he's super round and squishy! he's so greedy with his food but his full cheeks are so cute.. i spent a lot of time researching and setting up his enclosure before i got him, it's really big and he loves burrowing! i don't handle him as much because he's nocturnal, but sometimes he'll eat from my hand in the morning! he bit hayden one time when he visited, so now hayden's scared of him." she laughs as she recalls the memory, remembering how the lovepill member had shrieked so funnily from something so tiny. she shows off a few more pictures of her pets before shutting off her phone and putting it away. "that's all of my babies! aside from my pets, we also have mars' kitty in our dorm! if i ever get more time, i would love to have sugar gliders, they're the cutest! i really love seeing all the fans' funny comments when i post photos of my kids, especially on teokki's pics! i promise she's nice guys!!"

bunnyinmyheart: AHAHA DOES THIS MEAN SHES SEEN THE TEOKKI "i know what you are." PHOTOS

JUNE 25TH, 2013

Asahiko hit the lights in the practice room halfway through Micha’s practice. He had a cupcake in his hand with a single candle lit. He started singing happy birthday in Korean, but halfway through forgot the words, so he continued in Japanese. Micha burst out laughing and a grin spread on Asahiko’s face.

“Happy Birthday to you!” Asahiko finished the song and Micha clapped for him. He held up the cupcake as Micha blew it out. He handed her the cupcake before rushing to turn the lights back on.

“You didn’t have to do this,” Micha said, a slight blush crept up onto her neck.

“I wanted to. It’s your sixteenth.” Asahiko grinned. “Did you make this?” Micha asked, licking some frosting off her finger. Asahiko shook his head. The truth is, he made a bunch of cupcakes last night and picked the best tasting batch for Micha. He wasn’t sure why he didn’t want her to know this, but the idea kind of seemed embarrassing now that they were face to face.

“Well, thank you. Here, take half.” She said, splitting the cupcake in two with her fingers. She handed a mangled half to Asahiko and they sat down against the mirror, eating silently.

“Did you get anything for your birthday?” Asahiko asked, brushing the crumbs off his hands.

“No, actually,” Micha said, slightly uncomfortable. She started toying with the cupcake wrapper. “My parents gave me some money, but I think all my other friends forgot.” 

“I didn’t forget,” Asahiko said with a small, sympathetic smile.

Micha looked over at him and chuckled, nudging her shoulder with his. “Yeah, and that makes you my favorite friend at the moment.”
