You lean against the door frame, a smile on your lips. Jungkook’s still in bed, covers thrown to the side and fast asleep. His face is half-hidden in the crook of his elbow, the small of his back exposed where his shirt’s ridden up during the night. You pad over in sock-clad feet, crawling onto the side of the bed to sit cross-legged next to him as you reach out to run your fingers through his bangs.

Jungkook hums and shuffles forward, wrapping his arms around your leg and maneuvering himself so his face is tucked away against your thigh. You scratch at his scalp for a bit before dragging your palm down flat along his spine, curling your fingers against the small of his back so he shivers. You smile, pushing your hand up his shirt to gently scratch his back.

The sun is warm against your shoulders and Jungkook is warm against your legs, his eyes firmly shut even though you know he’s awake. "Kook-ah?"

"Mm…"

"We have to get up."

He groans, turning onto his back so he can pout at you, "I don’ wanna." "You don’t wanna go through with the ceremony?" "And miss our wedding?" Jungkook scoffs. He shakes his head, your endeared giggle making him smile. He pushes himself up and leans forward to peck you on the lips; presses your foreheads together when he pulls away. He smiles against your mouth, "Never."

You smile so wide your cheeks hurt, smack-squeezing Jungkook’s thigh before you push yourself up again, heading to your shared closet at the end of the room. "Hurry up," you say, scrounging around for a pretty set of underwear. "I need you to come get your things so we can get dressed."

Jungkook hums from behind you, sliding his hands around your exposed waist until his palms rest interlocked over your bare stomach. "Picking out something pretty?"

"Mm," you hum back, holding up a white set with an intricate floral lace pattern around the hips and down the center of the chest. "This one's nice," you muse.

Jungkook agrees with a chaste kiss to the back of your neck, sighing like it’s the worst thing in the world that he has to separate from you. When he does a little ‘turn around’ motion with his fingers, you turn and tug your chosen underwear on with your back to him. He grabs his clothes from the cupboard and shuffles into them.

When he's done, Jungkook kisses the back of your head, his voice fading as he leaves the bedroom. "I’ll see you later."

"Don’t miss me too much," you tease.

"Love you too!" he yells back.

With that marking his exit, you turn back around and grab the pretty white sundress the girls helped you pick out for the ceremony.

"Y/N!"

Think of the devil.

"Oh my god, look at you!" Rosé squeals, running to your side to grab your arms and look you up and down with a teary-eyed smile. "You look stunning!"

"Thanks," you giggle, a flattered blush painting your cheeks.

"Wait." Lisa groans as she smacks a hand against her head. "I forgot the fucking ring, hold on—"

"What ring?" you ask, frowning at Jisoo.

"You'll—"

"—Aaand, there she goes," Rosé giggles, shaking her head. Lisa barrels out of the room toward the main house further up the hill.

"So forgetful," Jisoo sighs.

"This thing makes you look so dainty," Jennie laughs, grabbing the hem of your dress and raising it to inspect it more seriously. A devilish smirk pulls at her lips. "And matching panties, I see."

"Shut up!" you laugh, punching her arm as you self-consciously pat down the skirt. "Jungkook's already seen it, anyway."

"What?!" Jisoo yells, rushing forward. "Y/N! He's not supposed to see you until the ceremony!"

"He saw the underwear, not the dress."

Lisa smacks her shoulder into the wall as she comes barreling through the doorway, falling into Jisoo's side with a loud groan. "Ow, fuck—"

"You okay?" Jisoo laughs, a concerned lilt to her voice.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine! Might've dislocated my shoulder, but I'm doing great!" Lisa says sarcastically, snickering when Jisoo grabs her around the neck to give her a knuckle-sandwich.

Jennie rolls her eyes. "Drama queen."

"Sh!" Rosie silences the group, looking eagerly at Lisa. "Did you bring the ring?"

"Right!"

You watch them with attentive, curious eyes as Lisa pulls a navy-blue velvet box from her jeans pocket, carefully opening it up and removing a sparkling silver ring…

The design is simple but elegant: intricate vines with small rosebuds twirl up and around a stem to a blooming rose in the center. You pout at the feelings bursting from the center of your chest (a habit the pack likes to say you got from Jungkook), slowly slipping it over the middle finger on your left hand.

"To welcome you into the family," Lisa says with a shy smile, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Do you like it?" Rosé asks, her hands clasped nervously in front of her.

"You guys," you whine, gathering them up in your arms and trying desperately to fight off the sudden wave of tears threatening to wash down your face. "Thank you."

"Welcome to the family," Jennie mumbles against your shoulder, hand patting the small of your back.

"You can't leave," Jisoo states factually. "Ever. You're stuck with us until the day you die."

Your laugh as you pull away is wet with emotion, wiping under your eyes and holding onto Jennie and Rosé's hands. You share a look with the four beautiful young women who so graciously welcomed you into their lives, into their family, and smile. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Jisoo?"

The five of you turn to the porch winding up the hill to the main house, squinting against the late afternoon sun to try and make out the silhouettes further up the path.

"Eommoni?!"

Jennie and Lisa gasp, darting from the room to meet Jungkook's parents halfway up the path.

You and the other two girls follow, grinning. You haven't seen Jungkook's parents since his surprise-birthday party months ago, so you're delighted to see them again—especially for such a joyous occasion.

"Y/N," Mrs. Jeon sighs, opening her arms wide to give you a strong hug, warmth radiating from her like heat from the sun. "It's been too long," she says woefully.

"It's wonderful seeing you again, Eommoni," you agree, smiling as Jungkook's dad brings you in for a side-hug.

"We couldn't be happier to see you," he says.

You pull away with a bright smile on your face. "Me too."

Eager to give you some alone-time with your fiance's parents, Jisoo and the others start making their way to the main house, leaving you to walk arm-in-arm with Mrs. Jeon, her husband close at her side.

"How are you feeling?" she asks with a knowing smile, her voice reminding you so much of a gossiping schoolgirl that you can't help but laugh.

"Good!" you say. "Nervous, of course, but good. Excited."

"Those are all very good things to be," Jungkook's dad says with a grin, his hand on Mrs. Jeon's waist. "All things me and Mara felt on our special day."

"Oh, hush!" Mrs. Jeon says, gently smacking her husband's arm as a faint blush tints her ears, much like it does her son's when he's embarrassed.

"It's true!" Mr. Jeon laughs, the three of you making your way into the main house through the patio door (that leads down to the single-bedroom river house you and Jungkook had been assigned to for this pack-wide getaway).

"What did you make her, Abeoji?"

Mr. Jeon smirks, nudging his wife in her side. "Show her."

Mrs. Jeon rolls her eyes, raising her shirtsleeve to show off a beautiful golden bracelet. It had a small crescent-moon in the center, which you realized now was the matching half to a bracelet Mr. Jeon wore.

"She made me my own half for our anniversary," Mr. Jeon says with a teasing smile, snickering at something his wife mumbles, too soft for you to hear.

Their love is so pure, you think, so sure of itself; it's no wonder Jungkook loves you like he does.

"Well, then," Mr. Jeon sighs as you stop in the middle of the room. "I should probably find my son. Say hi before your mother whisks him off. I'll see you two soon." He kisses Mrs. Jeon on the cheek and squeezes your shoulder, wandering off.

"Right, then," Mrs. Jeon claps her hands together. "I already set up a nice little area for us in one of the rooms upstairs, close to a window where we can sit in the sun."

The nerves of having to make Jungkook's gift is finally catching up with you. You planned what you wanted to do beforehand, of course, but having to put your thoughts and feelings to paper (with the chance of it turning out shit) is a lot more daunting than you expected.

"You'll be fine, darling." Mrs. Jeon reads your mind, patting the back of your hand. "I'll help you through it, yes?"

You bite your lip and shake out your hands, walking through the door and across the room to stand before an empty canvas.

"Let's do this."

Jungkook has never been more nervous for anything in his life. Well, except maybe for your first time, but that was very different and letting his thoughts wander down that road is probably not a very good idea.

He runs his fingers nervously over the dips and divots in the small wolf trinket he painstakingly whittled for you with your mother's guidance, wondering in the back of his mind if it was too simple for such an important ceremony.

This ceremony was basically the human equivalent of getting married (with a lot of shared traditions, surprisingly enough), and all he had to show for it was a sterling silver bracelet he didn't even make himself with an amateurishly carved wolf trinket attached to the center.

"I can hear you thinking from here," Evelyn startles him from his spiral.

Jungkook laughs nervously as she comes to stand in front of him, smoothing out his shirt and fixing the pearl necklace around his throat. "Sorry, eommoni. I'm just…"

"Nervous?"

Jungkook nods sheepishly.

"Nerves are good. Normal." She takes a seat next to him on the bed. "You're marrying my daughter, after all. I'd hope you were nervous."

Jungkook frowns. "Why?"

"Because that means you're scared. Scared is good! It means you won't fuck it up."

Jungkook snorts.

"I know you're nervous," Evelyn continues more seriously, "but you have nothing to worry about."

He nods quietly, already feeling more at ease. "Do you think she'll like it?" he asks.

"She'll love it."

"Thank you for helping me make it." He leans his head down on your mom's shoulder.

"Of course. Dongin and I are honored to have you as part of the family."

"Jungkook-ah!" Taehyung bellows, barging into the room with Jimin at his side, Yoongi, Hoseok, and Namjoon following soon after.

Jungkook and Evelyn get up from the bed at the same time, Evelyn walking across the room to greet the other pack members. Yoongi punches Jimin in the side to stop his and Tae's goofing off, bowing so low his hair falls over his eyes.

"Ugh, straighten up!" she orders with a shake of her head and a light slap to Yoongi's shoulder.

Hoseok laughs, throwing an arm around Yoongi's shoulders as Jimin and Taehyung walk deeper into the room, cornering Jungkook against the wall for his inevitable teasing. "You know how Yoongi gets, eommoni, he's all about respect—"

Yoongi growls softly, his cheeks tinting pink as your mom laughs and pats his shoulder, bowing her head to Seokjin (who appeared at the top of the stairs at some point during this exchange). "I'll see you boys later. Cut Jungkookie some slack, okay?"

They laugh. "So," Taehyung starts, wiggling his eyebrows at Jungkook. "How we feeling?"

"Good," Jungkook says with a confident nod, smiling. "Really, really good."

"I can't believe you went ahead and got mated before your hyungs," Seokjin sniffles dramatically, shaking his head and hiding his face behind his palm, imitating the mothers he sees on TV.

Jungkook shrugs with a mischievous grin. "Not my fault you guys have no game."

"Yaish, this kid—" Jimin grabs him around his neck and ruffles up his hair, laughing even when Jungkook growls threateningly at him. "Got yourself a mate and suddenly you're better than us," he teases.

"That's not what I said!" Jungkook laughs breathlessly as he finally shoves away, whining when Namjoon makes toward him to fix his hair.

"At least it's Y/N," Yoongi says with a sigh, his eyes betraying his emotion. "That brat was practically made for your dumb ass."

Hoseok laughs, shaking his head as he makes a show of squeezing Jungkook's cheeks. "Don't insult him, hyung, you'll upset the poor baby—"

"Hyung," Jungkook whines.

His brothers only laugh. "You're always gonna be our maknae," Namjoon reminds him, a proud, almost fatherly smile plastered on his face.

"We're real happy for you, Jungkook-ah," Taehyung agrees with one of his signature boxy smiles, patting Jungkook hard on the back.

"Thank—"

The strum of a guitar cuts Jungkook off midway through his thanks, Rosé's voice carrying out across the pit area at the front of the house. He inhales and immediately catches wind of the smoke from the bonfire the girls must've set up in preparation for the ceremony, his pulse spiking at the realization that oh shit, this is actually happening.

He's being mated to the girl of his dreams, with all the most important people in his life present as witnesses: two families becoming one.

Jimin smacks him on the back with an encouraging, teary-eyed smile. "Let's go get your girl."

You can hear the music from down the path, your palms sweaty around Dad's arm.

"You ready, pumpkin?" He taps the hand you have hooked around his elbow.

The nerves of the day are finally catching up to you. "I'm ready," you exhale.

Your dad smiles proudly, and then you're walking up the dirt path, white lilies guiding you to your future.

And the moment you see him, you think the future looks good.

Jungkook, like you, is dressed in all white—a white pearl necklace, white v-neck shirt, white trousers and what look to be white dress shoes. He looks like an angel.

Jungkook watches you with a sparkle in his eyes that makes your tummy clench.

You join him under the arch (decorated with an array of colorful flowers, most of which you can’t identify), looking shyly down at your sandals as he grabs your hands.

"You look beautiful," he whispers, the smile on his face so soft it feels like clouds.

"So do you."

He smiles wider still, brushing his thumb over the back of your hand.

"Today is a very special day for the Bangtan pack, and the Jeon and Lee families alike," Jungkook's dad says with a proud grin, standing side-by-side with his wife and your parents.

There's something about seeing them all next to each other, Jungkook's hands warm around yours, that make this all feel so suddenly real, you have to blink to keep your emotions at bay.

"Y/N," Mrs. Jeon starts off.

"Jungkook-ah always used to say he looked forward to finding his mate." She holds onto Mr. Jeon's hands and continues, "He would brag that he'd be the best mate ever, no matter who they were. And after Jungkook left us to join his friends to form their own pack, we worried he'd made a mistake."

"The city is notoriously absent of shifters," Mrs. Jeon explained, "so we thought that by leaving our small little town in Busan, Jungkook was giving up on finding a mate."

"And then Gukka found you," Mr. Jeon finishes, tears streaking down his face. You laugh tearfully, your heart aching at the sight accompanied by your mom's emotional sniffles.

"He would not stop talking about you!" Mrs. Jeon laughs fondly, shaking her head. "He told us he'd found his mate, that he was sure of it, even though you were human and nothing like he'd imagined you'd be, nothing like we'd imagined for him.

"We couldn't be happier to welcome you into the Jeon family, my dear," she sniffles. "Jungkook knew from the moment he met you, and he couldn't have made a better choice if he tried."

You let go of Jungkook's hands to wrap your arms around the Jeons' shoulders, hiccuping into them. Mr. Jeon rubs a comforting circle against your back as Mrs. Jeon's fingers dig into your shoulders, her tears darkening the white fabric around your shoulders.

Eventually you pull away to stand back at Jungkook's side, resting your head against his shoulder after he briefly scents under your chin.

"Jungkook," your mother begins.

Jungkook straightens his back and squares his shoulders.

"Y/N used to complain."

Everyone bursts out laughing and you look shyly down at your feet, heat blossoming in your cheeks.

"She used to complain a lot," Mom giggles. "'This new boy at school won't leave me alone,' she'd say. 'He follows me around like a lost puppy! I don't understand, what did I do?!'"

"The answer is that she didn't do anything, and though it may have took her much, much longer by shifter standards, she fell for you, and she fell for you hard."

"As a father," Dad says, "it was hard listening, in real time, as complaints about this annoying new boy at my baby's school turned into her talking about how much she liked spending time with him, about how he was now her best friend.

"I knew her feelings for you were blossoming. And it was hard, letting you in," Dad admits, his gentle smile softening the blow. "I felt like things were moving too quickly, so much more quickly than was good, or normal.

"But then Evelyn pointed something out to me, Jungkook."

Dad pauses, reigning himself in before he can continue speaking. "She said, 'Have you not seen the way he looks at her? Have you not noticed the devotion, the love in his eyes?'"

You don't have to be a shifter to hear the hitch in Jungkook's breath.

"That's when I knew," your dad cries, Mom comforting him even though you're sure she can't see through her own tears. "That's when I knew I wanted you as a part of this family, and I'm so happy seeing that dream come to fruition."

Together, your parents walk forward and form a circle around the two of you, locking fingers.

In sync (no doubt from hours of practice), they recite your blessing:

"The pack is life, and the pack is love. Born, bred, or brewed, we bless this union, and welcome you, daughter and son, with open arms."

They wrap around you, tightening the circle and squeezing. You full-body shiver and burst into tears, your arms wrapped around Jungkook's waist and one of your parents' backs, face hidden in your father's shoulder as Jungkook leans against his mother, your mom's hand on the back of his head. Surrounding them, your pack: Namjoon, Jisoo, the boys, the girls—all of them wrapped around you in a protective bubble.

Something within you flips a switch, like a sparkler being lit.

This is so much more than you ever could've asked for. Surrounded by everyone you've ever loved, you've never felt more safe—more happy—in your life.

The ceremony was everything you could've asked for and then some.

The cake was revealed soon after you made your vows: a beautiful three-tiered chocolate extravaganza with grass-green frosting, two little fondue mini-you and Jungkook's sitting together in a field surrounded by Smarties flowers. It was cute and kind of childish, but that's what made you like it even more.

You cut the cake while giggling the entire time, swiping off a piece of icing with your finger to drag it down the side of Jungkook's nose. His wide-eyed shock had made you laugh so hard you hadn't had the time to dodge the massive swab of icing he slathered all across your cheek (which he, to everyone else's dismay, licked off quickly after).

The cake was wonderful, and the rest of the night went so smoothly it felt like something straight out of a fairy tale; your own little and they lived happily ever after.

You and Jungkook smile and wave at the rest of the party as you head back down the hill to your river cabin, calling it early so you can give each other your gifts.

"Meet me in the living room?" you ask him as you stop just inside the entryway, biting nervously on your lips now that you have to actually show him the painting. Everyone knows you aren't a painter—Jungkook's the artist in your relationship, after all. But that was all the more reason for you to try and gift him something you know he'll appreciate and (hopefully) cherish for the rest of your lives.

Jungkook gives a nervous little nod of his head, pulling you back to kiss you and then speed walk to the bedroom to bring his gift to the couch.

"Okay," you say once he's sat down next to you, your knees brought up to your chest and hands clasped together over your shins. "Who's going first?" you ask.

Jungkook smiles in that soft, slightly unsure way that makes your heart leap with fondness as he shakes his head. You smile back and hold his hand, whispering, "Me first?"

"Please," he exhales. "I just—"

"You're fine, love, don't worry about it. Just… stay here and close your eyes."

Jungkook does as told. You squeeze his hand and spring up off the couch, walking around into the small section behind the kitchenette wall where you asked Mrs. Jeon to set the easel after you finished. You take the canvas from the easel and look over it for a second, turning away immediately once you notice all the little mistakes and things you wish you'd had the time to fix.

"Babe?"

"I'm here, just… trying to prepare myself," you laugh, sitting back down next to him with the canvas hidden against your chest.

"For what?" Jungkook frowns, eyes still closed. "I'm going to love whatever it is. You know that, right?"

"Yeah… Yeah, of course I do, I just…"

Jungkook pats around until his hand finds your knee. "Can I open my eyes?"

You take a deep breath and expel it from your lungs, turning the canvas around and watching his face with an intensity that could melt through plastic. "You can open your eyes."

What Jungkook sees is a cute, cartoonish rendition of his wolf curled up against your side; his paws over your bent knees, your arm slung around his back, hand resting on his torso. The slight anatomical inaccuracies of course catch his eyes, but it just makes his heart swell more—this isn't something you're good at, but you did it anyway.

For him.

"I love it," he whispers softly, running his fingers over the dried paint with the gentlest, most love-struck smile you think you've ever seen.

You grin slowly, feeling a tingle of excitement in the tips of your fingers. His reaction was all you'd been hoping for, really. Even with its imperfections, he loves it, just as he loves you.

"I'm really glad," you exhale joyfully, placing a hand over the bridge of his foot, anchoring yourself to him physically.

"Of course I love it," he says, gently removing the canvas from your hands and setting it on the coffee table. Your knees touch as he cups your face and leans in for a slow, love-infused kiss that steals the breath from your lungs. When he leans back, you lean in, a little dazed and smiling like a goof.

His eyes sparkle nervously. "Time for mine?"

"Time for yours," you agree.

Jungkook squeezes the hand you have on his thigh (you really don't remember putting it there), reaching behind him to grab the gift he hid who-knows-where.

"Your mom helped a lot," he admits sheepishly, holding whatever it is in his fist, unwilling to let you see it just yet.

"So did yours," you shrug, your eyes fixed on his closed fist.

He sighs, "I really hope you like it," right as he uncurls his fingers.

You gasp, reaching for the bracelet. You run your thumbs reverently over the smoothed-down wood. "Jungkook…"

"What?" he asks nervously, biting his lips. "Is it okay?"

"It's more than okay!" you burst into tears, throwing your arms around his shoulders and bringing him into your chest. You stare at the trinket over his shoulder, the tears running away from you as all the emotions of the last several hours come crashing down.

"Bunny," he laughs, patting your hair and rubbing your back. "Why are you crying?"

"I just love you so much," you sniffle, "they're happy tears."

Jungkook chuckles against your shoulder, scenting against the side of your neck and under your chin until you've calmed down enough to look at him without sniffling. "Do you want me to put it on for you?"

You nod, handing him the bracelet and holding out your hand. Jungkook smiles as he clips the bracelet around your wrist, thumbing the trinket and looking up at you with watery, emotion-filled eyes.

"I love you," you whisper, leaning forward until you're sitting forehead-to-forehead. "So much."

"Ditto," he teases, nipping at the tip of your nose with a joyful giggle that lights your tummy on fire.

You grab his face and kiss him hard, crawling into his lap with practiced ease. He hums against your lips, his hands settling over your waist as he uncurls his legs to accommodate you better, setting his feet on the floor and leaning back against the couch to meet your hungry kisses with equal fervor.

You kiss the corner of Jungkook's lips, his cheek, the point of his chin until eventually you get to his neck, licking over and then kissing the spot on his neck you've memorized as his scent gland. He folds instantly, groaning and squeezing at you with his head thrown back, thighs flexing underneath you.

"All mine." You kiss his neck, all your love and affection and admiration engraved in the soft touch of your lips to his skin.

Jungkook sighs. "All yours."

You know what? Fuck it, I don't care. Here are all of my Sparklecare Hospital fanarts all the way up to 2023 just this once.

Here are the speedpaints and videos below:

Barruni Edit - Dec. 6, 2021

Doomed Speedpaint - Feb. 14, 2022

13 Angels Edit - Jun. 23, 2022

Barruni Speedpaint - Aug. 30, 2022

Night of the Were-Tiolf Speedpaint - Oct. 9, 2022

I have drawn many fanarts of Sparklecare Hospital for almost 2 years and I stopped drawing them due to focusing on other interests. I originally planned to make a fanart to this year but Kittycorn's disgusting actions makes me happy to scrap altogether. Such a big waste.

As for my AUs and OCs, I have cancelled and scrapped all of them together because of this outcome.

Bonus for Citycountry Times newspaper background for Miley Smiley fanart using Adobe indesign:

2023 wrapped: cdrama edition!

taking a page from @dangermousie and doing an overview of all the cdramas i watched this year (i'll do one for kdramas later)! listed in order of least favorite to most favorite. favorite =/= objectively best/most well-made. just the ones i had the most fun watching.

15 have a crush on you. oh dear lord. this drama should be a case study for what happens when a bad drama has charismatic actors and they keep you trapped hostage. i watched this whole damn thing hating every minute of it on behalf of the poor female lead who definitely deserved better. the ending? absolutely batshit, and not in a fun way. one of the weirdest, worst endings ive seen since with you

14 back from the brink. too kitschy for me, i didn't last long on this one (i think 2 eps lol).

13 gone with the rain. i wanted to like this one because i love sean sun and troll general is exactly what i want out of life. but i didn't like the weird daydream asides, constant animal noise sound effects, and i found everyone kind of off-putting in a non-watchable way, so i peaced out really quick--ep 4ish

12 here we meet again. i love janice wu. i continue to try out her dramas hoping for something to grab me again. this one was pretty boring/too focused on the work element and not the rest of it.

11 exclusive fairytale. i have a secret weakness for youth-to-working-life dramas, so tried this one out. flat, not a lot of chemistry, and very color-by-numbers. the show was clearly made to vehicle jun, and that's okay, but not my thing

10 the starry love. i wanted to like this one because the side characters were fun and i loved the male lead/prince of heaven and all his awkward "please leave by 9" energy. but it bored me overall and unlike most folks i had no interest in the demon secondary ship. i dropped around ep 10

9 my journey to you. it kills me to rank this one so low because it was my most anticipated cdrama this year, but i just couldn't get into it. the pacing was too slow for me, and i couldn't stand how everyone talked to each other (long. pauses. and then. staring. and then. whispers. always the. whispers). i dropped this around midway

8 the love you give me. the chemistry between the leads was cute and it was a decent modern romance. started losing me around the midpoint when the paternity reveal hit and the ML got way into boundary crossing because of it

7 circle of love. objectively not a good drama. in fact, a toxic and batshit drama that has probably made me a worse person for watching it. but gd did my messy ass enjoy the trainwreck.

6 road home. you really got to be in the mood for this one, but it's a nice, understated and slow melo romance. but def not a bingeable show since it takes its time with everything

5 wonderland of love. another drama that i dont think is objectively great, but two competent schemers/martial artists trying to one-up each other is like ship catnip for me and this was a show that lived or died by its ship. surprisingly tame for the screenwriter, and had a happy ending! popcorn watch.

4 till the end of the moon. me and this drama were in a bad romance, which i suppose is thematically appropriate. i hated parts of it, i was super invested in others. the post-dream human arc was giving wuthering heights tragic obsession incredibleness. even with its flaws, i think most of cdramaland is in agreement that lyx/tantai jin stole the ML competition this year. great gowns, beautiful gowns

3 story of kunning palace. i adored the characters in this drama! even when the plot was losing my interest, everyone was cast so well and had so much charisma that i stayed pretty hooked from ep 10ish on. absolutely loved the mean high school theatre director wreck that was xie wei, as well as the other (imo) true love interest of the show, princess leyang. the desperate speech about being like iron is gonna live rent-free in my head

& then 1&2 are way ahead of the others for me this year/a very close race between them!

2 a journey to love. i love this drama so much!!! i have not skipped or speed watched a single scene which for me is a huge feat! great character work across the board -- even the side characters have a lot of nuance and interesting dynamics between them. beautiful fight scenes. great ost. one of the best, most balanced main couples ive seen in a show. it's gonna break my heart in a few eps when it ends, but i'll be happy about it

1 lost you forever (s1). this drama came out of NOWHERE and the vicegrip it had on me while it was airing!!! my favorite FL this year (although a journey to love's ruyi is a close second), and just a ton of fun while also being quietly devastating in parts. i loved how lived in and tired the FL felt, enjoyed the various flavors of mess from her love interests, and enjoyed how extra it could go while still giving us really grounded and complicated characters. this drama gets extra points for converting me on several actors i did not think that highly of before the show.

overall, despite how many i dropped (lol writing it out made me realize i dropped so, so many), cdramas delivered for me this year! my top two are on my short list for favorite dramas, period. everyone go watch a journey to love and lost you forever if you havent yet!!!

AWARDS

Favorite ship: definitely goes to ruyi and yuanzhou from a journey to love. it's just nice to see a couple that mutually supports each other's murders

Brazil recognized over 77,000 individuals as refugees in 2023

Venezuelans account for 81.4% of all refugee applications

In 2023, the Brazilian government recognized 77,193 individuals as refugees, marking the highest number in the history of the national refugee system and a significant increase of 1,232.1 percent compared to 2022.

The data is from the 9th edition of the "Refuge in Numbers" Yearbook, released by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security and the United Nations (UN) Refugee Agency (UNHCR) on Thursday (Jun. 13), in Brasília.

Venezuelans accounted for 112,644 applications, representing 81.4 percent of the total applications processed in the country. The study also highlights requests from Haitians (5.6%), Cubans (2.9%), Angolans (1.7%), and Bangladeshis (1.2%). Additionally, there was an increase in the number of refugee applications from women, as well as from children and adolescents.

In 2023, the National Committee for Refugees (Conare) examined 138,359 applications for recognition of refugee status, representing a 235 percent increase compared to 2022.

Netflix has announced many news regarding the Yu Yu Hakusho Event that will take place in Tokyo, on the Evening of December 13, 2023. The application process ends on December 5 on the official site. Seats are limited!

What do we know so far?

The live screening of the first episode

Thousands of fans will have the chance to watch the screening of the first episode of the series on a large screen and at high volume.

Exclusive content with an immersive fan experience

There will be various other projects at the venue, where participants will be able to experience the worldview of Yu Yu Hakusho. Netflix has showed some of the contents:

A photo spot reproducing Koenma's office;

A long corridor displaying the work's worldview;

A dojo where you can practice Yusuke's spirit gun (reigan);

A mysterious scroll called "Koenma's Yogen-sho (Prophecy)".

I wonder what's this "Book of Koenma". Maybe some kind of revelation about the next Dark Age of demons that will happen in a hundred years. He mentioned something like that in the manga. There are many spots about Koenma, will Keita Machida show up with his pacifier? lol

Exclusive Netflix/Yu Yu Hakusho Merchandise

Netflix has unveiled some of the merch that is going to be sold at the venue. There's probably more. They usually sell acrylic stands of the characters too.

Red carpet with cast and director

The fans will have the chance to meet some of the cast on a dynamic red carpet. It seems only Kotone Furukawa (Botan) and Goro Inagaki (Sakyo) will not be attending the premiere. It would be a dream if Togashi-sensei made a surprise appearance.

Guest Appearances:

Takumi Kitamura (Yusuke Urameshi), Jun Shison (Kurama), Kanata Hongo (Hiei), Shuhei Uesugi (Kazuma Kuwabara), Sei Shiraishi (Keiko Yukimura), Ai Mikami (Yukina), Hiroya Shimizu (Karasu), Keita Machida (Koenma), Meiko Kaji (Genkai), Kenichi Takito (Elder Toguro), Go Ayano (Younger Toguro), and Director Sho Tsukikawa

The boys inviting everyone to the event on December 13, and announcing they will also be participating along with other costars:

GJ and ZZH Updates — February 11-17

previous post || all posts || following week

This is part of a weekly series collecting updates from and relating to Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.

This post is not wholly comprehensive and is intended as an overview, links provided lead to further details. Dates are in accordance with China Standard Time, the organization is chronological. My own biases on some things are reflected here. Anything I include that is not concretely known is indicated as such, and you’re welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or additions. :)

[Glossary of names and terms] [Masterlist of my posts about the situation with Zhang Zhehan]

02-11 → Tissot posted a promotional video spoken by Gong Jun.

→ The Instagram posted a video that I did not care to watch long enough to figure out what it was.

02-12 → The Instagram posted another of the same.

02-13 → Fresh posted a promotional video spoken by Gong Jun.

→ The Instagram posted another of the same.

02-14 → Gong Jun posted nine pictures to his Weibo: six of the god of wealth and three of him dressed as the god of wealth. Caption: "Please choose a God of Wealth from the pictures below to spend Valentine’s Day with 💐" His studio reposted this with the added caption, "The house is full of joy, the God of Wealth has arrived! @ Gong Jun Simon wishes you to get rich without getting lost, and find wealth on all roads!"

→ Gong Jun posted a douyin of himself as the God of Wealth. Caption: "Money comes, money comes, money comes from all directions." Fan Observations: Some are speculating that the person who taps him (rather hard) on the shoulder could be Zhang Zhehan. [hand comparison]

→ Gong Jun's studio posted an additional three photos of him. Caption: "On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we welcome the God of Wealth @ Gong Jun Simon, and wealth will come and come!"

→ PRSR posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun for Valentine's Day.

→ Gong Jun's studio posted a douyin of behind the scenes footage from the God of Wealth photoshoot. Caption: "Soft-hearted God of Wealth @ Gong Jun Simon invites you to share good luck, click to accept the invitation immediately~"

→ The Instagram posted a vlog of London.

02-15 → The Instagram posted another vlog.

02-16 → The Instagram posted seven photos of "Zhang Zhehan" in rehearsal.

→ The scam held another concert, this time in Hong Kong. This one included Zhang Sanjian strutting around topless with fake tattoos (I'll spare you the link) and saying that Zhang Zhehan's songs are "too soft". Tickets sold so badly that VVIP tickets were reportedly being given away for free a week before, and photos from inside the venue show empty seating sections and a number of audience members who were likely hired.

For previous info I've collected about these concerts, see [here] and [here].

02-17 → The Instagram posted six photos and a video of "Zhang Zhehan" showcasing the scam concert's venue.

Addition 02-24: Tumblr user @moniquill posted an article about a group of anti-Indigenous extremist Wikipedia editors. Among the editors listed is OnCamera, the editor who has also been maintaining the misinformation on Zhang Zhehan's Wikipedia page since 2021. (previously discussed under 2023-02-07, original exposé by Flora [here].)

Additional Reading: → Apologies for missing last week, I had some personal issues going on.

Sometimes, Jungkook feels like the biggest idiot on planet earth. Forgetting about a very important, fast-approaching project deadline happens to be one of those moments.

What sucks more than that is that he was tasked to do something in a medium far from what he usually does (oil pastel), but now that he has very little time to prepare, he also needs something that won’t take him more than 24 hours to complete.

He bites on his lip, pacing around the empty art studio with his hands on his hips. His buddy Eunwoo does a lot of body art, he thinks… he’s always said that it’s pretty snappy. Not that Eunwoo doesn’t spend time on his craft, just that the simpler pieces take significantly less time to do than anything else Jungkook’s tried (with the added benefit of being in a medium wholly different to his go-to).

If he can pull this off, Jungkook will be one step closer to passing his midterm.

“Aish, fuck it,” he mutters, striding across the room to the dirty white plastic table stacked with his art supplies, picking up his phone with a concentrated furrow in his brow as he dials Y/N’s number from his Favorites list before bringing his phone up to his ear, anxiously chewing on his thumb.

She picks up on the fourth ring. “Kook-ah?”

“Y/N.” He automatically smiles at the sound of her voice. “Hey,” he sighs, “sorry for calling you so late—“

“Not at all, Kook. What’s up?”

“Are you busy right now?”

“No…?” She pauses a moment. “Why? Did you need something?”

Jungkook sighs into the other line, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah... Can you come to the studio?”

“The one on-campus?”

“어…”

“Sure. I’ll be there in five.”

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

“What haven’t you done?” Y/N asks as soon as she steps through the threshold, a teasing smile on her lips.

She throws a plastic bag filled with snacks beneath the table, the plastic inside crinkling on impact as she takes a seat on top.

“A project,” Jungkook laughs, hoping she doesn’t hear its nervous crack.

“How much’s it worth?”

“Like… half my grade.”

“Jungkook—“

“I know. I know, I’m sorry.”

She laughs, not unkindly. “What’re you apologizing to me for? It’s your grade.”

“I know,” he mumbles, running his palm over his face with a sigh. “I don’t know. I don’t like disappointing people.”

He looks at her with a pitiful smile. “You especially…”

Y/N’s brows furrow as she hops off the table to hold his hands, coaxing his gaze up with an encouraging tug. “I’m not disappointed, Kook.”

He nods noncommittally, tonguing at his lip ring while staring at their intertwined hands instead of her soft smile.

“What can I do to help?” she asks then, running her thumb over the back of his tattooed hand.

“Actually,” he sighs, “that’s why I called you.”

“Oh?” she asks, a smirk tugging at her lips.

Jungkook clears his throat and lets go of Y/N’s hands to show her the large tubes of acrylic paint he stole from Eunwoo’s work station. “I was hoping you’d model for me.”

Y/N’s eyes widen to the size of saucers, her lips parting in a surprised o-shape that makes Jungkook’s heart flutter. “M-model? For you?”

He smiles. “Yeah,” he says, “for me. You know how Eunwoo does body art?”

“Yeah?”

“Well, I needed to do something different for this project, and body art seemed like it’d be the fastest and most efficient option, so…” He laughs awkwardly, tapping the tube of yellow paint against his thigh. “Here we are.”

“Doesn’t Eunwoo usually hire models?” Y/N asks.

“Well, yeah, but…” Jungkook shrugs. “I figured you’d be willing to help a guy out.”

Y/N snorts, rolling her eyes with a growing smirk that makes Jungkook’s stomach twist. “You’re lucky you’re right, Wolfie.”

He scrunches his nose at the nickname, nevertheless feeling a massive weight lift off his shoulders when Y/N giggles and punches him in the arm, walking to the centre of the room with a happy smile.

“How do we do this?” she asks.

Jungkook hums thoughtfully, imagining how he’ll transfer the rough sketch he came up with while waiting for Y/N to arrive from the scrappy piece of paper he’d had lying around onto her skin.

“I’m not entirely sure,” he mumbles distractedly, sucking air in through his teeth as he finally settles on going greyscale, lining up the handful of paint tubes from lightest to darkest, turning to the side to grab different sized brushes and a plastic cup of water. “I’ve never done this before.”

“Obviously,” Y/N says, smiling at him when he turns around to give her a deadpan look. “Can I help?” she then asks, standing over his shoulder.

“Uhh…” He turns to her, suppressing his urge to scent her and instead wracks his brain for something for her to do. “Oh! Why don’t you get some of that plastic covering there against the wall and lay it down on the floor for me?”

“Where?” She eagerly grabs a clean roll and struts determinedly to the middle of Jungkook’s work area. “In the middle?”

“Yeah, there’s fine.”

“Why on the floor though? Also, does it matter? The floor’s just as paint-ridden as every other surface in this room.” Y/N laughs as she smooths the plastic crinkles out, ensuring it’s flat against the floor.

“It’s so you don’t get dirty,” Jungkook mutters, squeezing small amounts of paint onto his palette before grabbing his brushes and making his way over to where Y/N is now standing confused in the middle of the room.

“What do you mean?” she asks suspiciously, watching as Jungkook slowly crouches to put down the brushes and palette before going back to the desk to grab his water and set it down alongside his other tools.

“You’ll have to lay down on your stomach,” he says, laughing at the deadpan look she gives him. “What can I say? Your back is the perfect substitute for a canvas.”

Y/N sighs dramatically, getting down on her hands and knees with an old-man groan that makes Jungkook grin.

When Y/N sits back on her haunches and turns to look at him with a slight furrow in her brow, his grin dilutes only a little bit. “What is it?”

“I need to take my shirt off, don’t I?”

Well, shit.

“Uh…” Jungkook, also on his haunches, feels like an idiot as he gapes at her, trying to wrap his head around his current situation. “Well, yeah.”

He has to internally yell at his wolf to shut the fuck up. “You’ll have to take off your bra, too.”

Y/N’s eyes widen, and Jungkook hastily backtracks. “The strap’s gonna get in the way of the painting,” he explains, “so unless you’re fine with me painting over it…”

She bites down on her lip, nervously fiddling with her fingers in a way that makes Jungkook frown. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to, Y/N. If you’re uncomfortable I can just paint over your shirt—“

She pulls a scandalized face. “No! This is my, like” —she tugs at the hem of her shirt, looking down at the Harley Quinn illustration with a furrow in her brow— “second favorite shirt.”

“Which one’s your favorite?” he asks, a little confused.

“The one with your face on it,” Y/N says with an evil grin, cackling when Jungkook deadpans at her.

Of course she’d like that one.

“Seriously though. You don’t have to,” Jungkook reassures her again, his palms flat against his thighs.

Y/N searches his face for a second before shaking her head. “It’s okay,” she says. “I can do it.”

Jungkook checks her face for any sign of hesitation before he nods and turns his head to the side, last-minute turning back to stop her. “Here.”

He tugs his shirt off and lays it down in front of her, spreading it a little before sitting back again. He clears his throat at the way Y/N’s eyes roam over his body, heat crawling up his back at the sensation.

“So you can lay down on it,” he explains hoarsely, clearing his throat again as he turns away, squeezing his eyes shut.

She whispers a thank you under her breath, the room turning dead-silent as Jungkook’s ears hone in on the sound of rustling fabric and a bra-clip being unhooked.

“‘M done, Kook-ah.”

Jungkook takes a deep breath, praying to whatever god is out there to help him be normal about this in ways he knows he’d be otherwise incapable of.

The moment he opens his eyes, all thought of normality flies out his brain like someone opened it up, called it empty and yeeted it across the room.

Y/N’s back is strangely ethereal.

Prominent shoulder blades guide his eyes down her spine, his eyes drinking in the valley of smooth skin like a starved animal.

The only thing that snaps him out of it is the sudden and very intense urge to lick her. (He blames his wolf and refuses to take accountability.)

Shaking his head on right, Jungkook hurries to shuffle closer, his legs tingling from disuse.

“So…” Y/N starts, clearly trying to fill the silence. “What are you painting?”

Jungkook laughs a little, grabbing the thickest brush he has and lathering it in titanium white, shifting close enough for his knees to touch Y/N’s sides. “I dunno if I should tell you.”

“What?” she whines. “Why?”

“Because you’ll make fun of me,” he says pettily, whispering a warning under his breath before setting the tip of his brush to her skin.

Y/N gasps at the sudden cold. Jungkook watches her with a tiny smile, waiting for her to relax her shoulders before he continues lathering paint on in the faint shape of a box.

“Just tell me.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Jungkook~” she whines, pulling a laugh from his throat with barely any effort at all.

He snickers as he shakes his head, finishing up the background before swirling the brush around in his water, grabbing a separate, thinner brush and dipping it in a blob of wet concrete-grey paint. “I’m drawing us.”

“Aww,” she squeals, giggling when Jungkook over dramatically sighs at her antics. “That’s super cute and all, Kook, but aren’t you supposed to be doing something different? You draw portraits of us all the time.”

“I know,” he says, tongue sticking concentratedly out the corner of his mouth. “That’s why I’m drawing us as animals.”

She gasps loudly. “Really!? Are you finally doing another Wolf-Y/N drawing?”

“I should keep that in mind for next time,” he chuckles. “But no, I’m making you a rabbit.”

“Of course you are,” she whispers, though Jungkook can’t help but think he hears a note of fondness in her voice. “So, what? You’re the big bad wolf, then?”

“Since when was I bad?” Jungkook scoffs.

“I dunno. Since you started slacking on your school work.”

“It’s one time!”

“It’s worth half your grade!”

Jungkook pouts, humphing. “Whatever. It’s a cute painting.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. My wolf’s tail’s all curled up ‘round you… you’re all sleepy, ‘n’ stuff,” he mumbles.

Jungkook swears he hears a smile in Y/N’s voice as she says, “That is pretty cute.”

“Yeah…”

Their conversation trails off as Jungkook focuses on his work, gradually laying out the groundwork for the line art.

When he finally starts working on it, though, he mumbles a short apology before swinging a leg over Y/N’s ass, straddling her lower back so he’s centered.

“You okay?” he asks, trying to keep his weight off her back.

“Yeah, ‘m fine.”

“Don’t need a break?”

“I’m fine, Kook. You can keep going.”

Jungkook clears his throat, mentally swatting the dirty thoughts away as he leans down to start on the line art, using his wrist to keep his hand steady as he uses his arm to keep his lines smooth and at an even thickness level.

“Would you have gotten someone else?”

“What?” Jungkook asks, leaning back to get a better view of his piece, but also to try and shake off the feeling of your skin on his palm.

“If I said I couldn’t make it, would you have gotten someone else to model for you?” Y/N asks, trying (and failing) to keep her voice neutral and nonchalant.

“No,” he says. “I don’t think I would have.”

“Why not?” she whispers, her heart beating a little louder in her chest.

Jungkook shrugs even though she can’t see. “I dunno. This feels too… intimate, to do with anyone else,” he admits, leaning back down to finish up the bunny’s line work so he can move on to the smaller details.

She hums softly, the vibration tangible against Jungkook’s hand. He’s been so hyper-focused on every little feel, he barely has time to register what he’s doing before he finds himself with his nose pressed to the back of Y/N’s neck.

“Kook-ah?” she whispers, a shiver running down her spine as Jungkook huffs out against her skin, hot all over and a little dizzy.

“Sorry, bunny,” he mumbles, squeezing his eyes shut. “You smell nice.”

She giggles, and Jungkook relishes in the wave of oxytocin that blasts him right in the face.

“You know, sometimes it’s like you can’t go thirty minutes without doing something to remind me you’re part dog.”

“I’m not a dog,” Jungkook grumbles, unaware of the slight growl in his voice as he takes another whiff of Y/N’s scent, letting it wash over him.

She shivers again, and that seems to be adequate enough for his wolf to let Jungkook pull away again. He mumbles an apology as he brushes her hair over her shoulder, sitting up straight and taking a moment to breathe deeply.

“You smell nice too, by the way.”

Jungkook laughs a little, wiping off a small smudge of paint as he finally stands to grab the digital camera he keeps for the moments when he wants to capture something he’s made for later review, wiping his paint-stained hands down on his pants.

“Is that so?” he teases lightly, telling Y/N to stay still as he stands over her, lining up the shot and taking a couple before he finally gives her the okay.

“You have a really nice smell,” she explains almost defensively, pulling her shirt back on while Jungkook’s back is to her. “You smell like… like rain, and that vanilla laundry detergent you like so much.”

She bends to grab and then throw Jungkook’s shirt at him, smiling as he leans back against the table with a smile of his own.

“I’m glad you think it’s nice,” he says, not bothering to hide the smugness to his tone but hoping she can’t tell with some kind of best friend magic that her liking the way he smells can also be interpreted as a (as she would call it,) “wolfy” thing.

Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, he drills to himself.

“Whatever. You took pictures?” She stands next to him.

“Mm. I’ll give you a copy once I get them printed.”

She smiles. “Thanks.”

“‘Course, bunny.”

Rolling her eyes, Y/N stands on the tips of her toes to wrap an arm around Jungkook’s shoulders, guiding him out the door with a strength and determination that surprises him.

“Now,” she says, “let’s get fucked. I know a great place like, down the road from here.”
