#exo secret santa 2021

[starlightfantasy]

Yesss i really love all their alligator performances. Jooheon’s “hello! I’m an alli alligator” lives rent free in my brain lol

And shownu chopping wood is so iconic! Honestly those are all great moments! I would recommend checking out Monsta X ray. There’s an episode where they visit a zoo and it’s so cute!

I was supposed to see Monsta X but then they cancelled my stop due to covid in 2021 😞 so I totally get it! Hopefully one day we can both get the chance to see them!

I am SO jealous you got to see Wonho! He’s such a beautiful person, I can’t even imagine seeing that in person! What was your favorite performance that night?

I actually like a ton of groups! Stray Kids, Onlyoneof, Shinee, Astro, and Ateez are some faves. I also really love VIXX - Leo’s my bias and I love his solo work/VIXX LR stuff! I’m also really into girl groups like WJSN, Loona, Lovelyz, Girls’ Generation etc. honestly it’s harder for me to find something I don’t like than like lol

Question of the day for you: do you have a favorite Wonho/MX mv?

And what are your top 5 mvs in general! From any kpop group!

Hope you have a good night/day (not sure what time it is for you lol it’s night where I am!) - MBB Secret Santa 🎅

Hey!!!

I love your messages and I am so pumped we got a few more things in common! 

I do want to see monsta X ray. I guess that I've been putting it off because it hurts to see wonho in there, knowing he's not in the group anymore.

But yeah. 🥂 Here's to us seeing them performing live one day. In the front row. VIP tickets. I'm manifesting that for us!

Wonho's concert was amazing. At first I couldn't believe it, but when he sang With you, I totally lost it. I love the song because he says 2 lines in Spanish (my mother tongue) and because it's sexy af (just like him hehe)

If you go through my blog you will know I like all the groups you mention. Also I try to support less famous groups, I think they all deserve recognition cause they work so hard and I believe that all groups should win an award during their careers. 

For some reason I've always preferred BG to GG. But I do love purple kiss, dreamcatcher and Pixy 

Anyways I am rambling.

My favourite Wonho video is eye on you. I love it so much. It's dark, and there's wolves and the choreo is chef's kiss. I just prefer him with dark hair. And that performance he does when he covers his eyes at the end just… drives me insane. When he sang that In the concert I almost died of happiness

As from Mx, alligator. They all look amazing in leather, and there's water and I love wonho's iconic look.

Fav MVS in general (not mentioning the ones above)

1.libido -ooo - it tastes like forbidden love

2.all in - mx -it tastes like fighting for what you believe in

3. Jackson Wang - blow - it tastes like guilty pleasure

4. Wolf -exo, but the concert version- it tastes like passion

5.the closer from vixx - it tastes like desire

thanks for your message and what about your fav videos????

[flaredpantsagenda]

I hope you have had more time to draw! I really love your drawings and art style (yes i stalked your account when i found out i was your santa). Have you been drawing anything lately?

I knew he was your bias! Yes, he’s mine too and has also been since the beginning. When did you start liking exo? I also have been listening to Kyungsoo’s album nonstop and I have been so obsessed with his rewrite the stars cover from a few days ago. I literally cannot stop listening.

Also, just wanted to ask, for your gift, what would you prefer? I do video edits, but I can also make a regular edit or a moodboard if you prefer that.

-your secret santa

Hi again Secret Santa! <3

Haha I see you managed to navigate my poorly structured main/sideblog situation. Thank you that's sweet of you to say about my art! I have been doing a bit of drawing! Just haven't quite found the time to clean up and post things. I've got some SHINee and Exo comics in the works, and Exo's Ladder sketches, and a Kyungsoo portrait.

You have great taste in your bias. Favorite Baekhyun songs? looks?

Re: Kyungsoo: YES! he sounded amazing doing Rewrite the Stars. All his live performances have been so good but that one took me by surprise. My favorite song from the album was Wonder which I don't think he's going to do live, but i can dream.

I just started liking Exo a couple years ago at the beginning of 2021. (Basically right before Baekhyun's enlistment-it's fine) Don't Fight the Feeling was my first comeback and Cream Soda was my first full comeback with performances and everything! When did you first get into Exo? I love hearing about which eras people joined.

For my gift: honestly whatever would be the most fun for you? If video edits are your main medium that sounds awesome! but honestly anything would be great!

Hi @yyooooohhhh! here is the 2nd of 2 gifts. Have a wonderful Holiday season. your backup secret santa @mel-loves-kdramas.

[exolssecretsanta]

Hello EXO-Ls!

Welcome to the “2021 EXO-Ls Secret Santa (SS) Online Gift Exchange.”

We had such a wonderful experience with last year’s EXO-Ls Secret Santa (SS) Online Gift Exchange that I have decided to do it again this year.  I have made some changes to this year’s rules so please read closely.  I hope the 2021 project helps bring you all lots of joy and holiday fun.  

Please join me in this EXO fandom online holiday gift exchange.  How does it work? You sign up to make an online gift for someone and someone else makes one for you.  Simple and fun! Everyone will receive their gift the week before Christmas!  You don’t have to have a EXO blog to join.  If you are a fan - then you can join.

This is a tumblr online gift exchange so all gifts must be digital.  Gift examples: fanfiction, gifsets, playlists, mood boards, photoshop edits, tumblr icons/headers, etc. (If you want to try and make some edits/mood boards here is a website that offers a free editor. https://www.canva.com/create/mood-boards/

The first thing you need to do is sign up HERE .  Once I close the sign up window I will randomly match you up with someone else based on the criteria you filled out in the sign up form.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT:  SECRET SANTA is to be kept a SECRET.   Do not tell the person you are making the gift for who you are.  It’s a secret until you reveal yourself when you post their gift on tumblr.  

Last year we required participants to send Anonymous messages (of positivity or questions to personalize their gifts, etc) to the person they were making the gift for, but there were difficulties with that.  So, I am not making it a requirement this year.  If you still wish to do this, please do.  I will however require participants to turn on their ASK inbox and allow for Anonymous messages.  That will help those who do wish to send anon messages. 

You’ll have a lot of time to make your gift.  I will have one check-in date to see how you all are doing.  I understand that real life can get in the way, so this check-in date is a way for you to let me know if you can complete your gift on time.  This secret santa exchange is meant to be fun and enjoyable - not stressful so, you do not have to wait on the check-in date to make your gift.  Make it sooner rather than later and all you have to do is post it during the post date period below.

Here are the important dates:

Sign Ups Open: 7 September

Sign Ups Close: 10 October 

Gift Assignment notification sent to your tumblr direct message: 14-17th October. 

Check-in : 4 December

GIFTS POSTED: you can post your gifts any day during 16-18th December. 

Here are the RULES: *** THESE HAVE CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR ***

You must follow this blog and please reblog/signal boost this informational post.  

Please tag your Gift post with the following: name of the blog receiving your gift and our blog name: @EXOLSSECRETSANTA (the reason I ask you to include our blog name on your post is to help ensure I get the notification. I will be re-blogging your gift to our blog for everyone to enjoy.  Make sure you have the tag EXOLSSECRETSANTA21 in your first 5 tags. 

 Make sure your blog’s ASK inbox is ON and TURN ON/allow anonymous asks.

Hola!

Perdón por tardar en contestar. Hoy me pusieron la segunda dosis, así que estuve muy ocupada para dejar todo listo en el trabajo porque me dan dos día libres por si me dan sintomas.

EXO-CBX! Me encanta su música y amo la relación que tienen. Mi canción favorita de ellos, aparte de los singles, es Gentleman. ¿Cuál es la tuya?

MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

To @thedeviousdo ♡

Hi Steph! SURPRISE! This is Joy, your Secret Santa for 2020. I hope you have been well during all this time. And before I go on, I feel the need to apologize to you for being so absent. But that shall change from now on!

I was so happy to be assigned your Santa. I had noticed you as one of the most active participants of the EXO-L Revival project and it was only fate that I had to give some of that dedication back to you through this online gift exchange that is @exolssecretsanta.

This is a set of what I imagine would be films you'd take of Kyungsoo and his beautiful self. And on this note, I want to wrap this small message to you, hoping your 2021 will be as beautiful and gorgeous as Kyungsoo is. Much love! - 🥳

last updated: april 18th, 2022

note: a lot of these are reposts from my old blog @paladinsuho​, so if you see anything familar, it’s probably from there (as of august 2020, all of the reposts have been moved here) :’)

ｍｕｌｔｉｍｅｍｂｅｒ: 

all your gods are fake (m): the world has been split in two, as the prophecy of brothers alike so said. the sect of seven has amassed a following of millions of fanatics willing to do anything for their seven living gods, destroying society completely to rebuild it under their leaders’ depraved desires. Their seven twin brothers have taken to acting as the leaders of the resistance, hoping to end their brothers’ reign of terror and in doing so acting as the counterparts of their brothers. [SERIES - DISCONTINUED]

son of wolves: your entire life, you've fought bravely to defend the walls of your home from the evil forest spirits of the spearwood, alongside your family, friends, and your betrothed, baekhyun. until you're infected by the evil that resides in one of these spirits, and you run away from home, before it can spread to those around you. in your exile, wandering through the spearwood that you meet chanyeol, the wolf prince, a tall man of hardened eyes, few words, and a fiery temperament, raised by these spirits you've so grown to resent. it's here that you begin to question everything you've ever known, and wonder whether the evil was out here, in the forest, or inside the walls of a place you once called home. [SERIES - COMPLETE] (for the 2020 exo-l secret santa gift exchange)

distracting exo while they’re on the phone (m)

ｋｉｍ ｊｕｎｍｙｅｏｎ:

king and lionheart: joy has come to your kingdom of oceansforte. your prince, junmyeon, is betrothed to the princess of avilux, and the wedding is quickly approaching. while the kingdom rejoices, you, his knight, are secretly in shambles; your dedication to your prince is not simply out of duty, but out of love as well. but as you begin to unravel secrets of the royal court—hidden alliances, forbidden romances, and a deadly plot against your kingdom—you steel your resolve: you must keep junmyeon safe no matter what, even at the cost of being ripped away from his side forever. [SERIES - IN PROGRESS] (for the 2021 exo-l secret santa fic exchange)

saturday boys: it’s saturday morning, and your son and your husband are dead-set on catching your attention.

you stole my star: ‘defeat the bad guys, save the universe, get the guy.’ that’s how it’s supposed to work, and you intend to follow it in that exact order, because it seems pretty complicated to not do it that way. but your team leader, junmyeon, makes you want to throw the entire plan out the window.

stop the world, i wanna get off with you: junmyeon is sensitive to touch when he’s drunk. you find it hilarious. him, on the other hand? …no comment.

ｍｕｌｔｉｍｅｍｂｅｒ:

nct 127 + the “worst songs to have sex to” playlist

mojave, mo’problems (m): throughout your life, you’d been told that a life of crime was the loneliest of all. now, however, your boyfriends, johnny and jaehyun, a pair of bank robbers, and you, their getaway driver, beg to differ.

can you dig it? (m): post-concert highs can be a real bummer, and tonight, after a particularly intense performance, your boyfriends jungwoo and doyoung help you come down.

ｊｏｈｎｎｙ ｓｅｏ

phenomena: the majority of your adult life you've been practically married to logic and science. until your superiors at the FBI assign you to work with special agent johnny seo on the x-files project—cases that were never solved due to unexplained phenomena. as time goes by, and you chase case after case, you find yourself drifting away from logic… and closer to johnny. (part of the 90s love collab)   

crawling back to you (m): the last time you and johnny saw each other, it didn’t end well. what happens now, when you show up and try to let him go, even if you don’t want to?

ｑｉａｎ ｋｕｎ:

the one true king (m): the night before he attempts to retake his throne from his usurper, kun decides he’s had enough of lying to both you and himself.

ｋｉｍ ｊｕｎｇｗｏｏ :

spectrum (m): in which jungwoo is a bit two-faced, but you don't mind because you're the only one who gets to see the other side of him.

happily never after: kim jungwoo is not having a good week. he was late to his coronation, banished to a strange, dingy city, and now? he’s getting picked up by a grumpy, disgruntled woman and her wide eyed daughter. you’re not having a good life. the divorce case you’re working on is on the verge of giving you an ulcer, your boyfriend is hiding a proposal from you, and try as you might, your 6 year old daughter resents you. when you meet jungwoo, however, he shows you that sometimes it’s okay to live in fairytales. (part of the modern magics collab)

ｗｏｎｇ ｙｕｋｈｅｉ:

please don’t bite (m): you’d always prided yourself on being able to read people well and managing yourself as an independent hybrid in a world that was still getting over that. but when lucas, your best friend, manages to get himself turned into a wolf hybrid, it has you second-guessing everything you thought you knew about yourself, him, and the both of you, together. (part of the wasn’t on pawpose collab)

ｘｉａｏ ｄｅｊｕｎ: 

give yourself a try: you'd earned a reputation for yourself over the past seven years at hogwarts—that you're the "worst ravenclaw hogwarts had ever seen", and that your antics give fred and george weasley's legacy a run for its money. the head boy of your house is often chasing after you to try and get you to conform to the rules. you, on the other hand, let dejun chase after you because you want to teach him that there's more to life than being a know-it-all goody two shoes. (part of the of witchcraft and wizardry collab)

ｌｅｅ ｊｅｎｏ:

with great power: there are two things that jeno loves most about his life. you, and being spiderman. there’s just one issue about that: after your father’s death, you decide you hate both spiderman and yourself. [SERIES - IN PROGRESS]

ｚｈｏｎｇ ｃｈｅｎｌｅ

everywhere at the end of time: in his old age, chenle can't remember any of it anymore. but you do. you do, and it burns.

ｍｕｌｔｉｍｅｍｂｅｒ:

the punisher anthology: a love letter to one of my favorite albums of all time: punisher by phoebe bridgers, spread across eight different one shots, each dealing with themes like love, grief, anger, and bitterness.

ｂａｎｇ ｃｈａｎ:

lost and found: looking for your soulmate is difficult to do when you’re also looking after your daughter. but on a chance shopping trip, when you lose her, you end up finding her, and your soulmate, whose soft smile and cute dimples offer a lot of promise.

along the mountain road: you and chan decide to take a new shortcut home. what else could go wrong?

ｈｗａｎｇ ｈｙｕｎｊｉｎ:

the strange man of monterrey manor (m): life as the heiress of a disgraced house has not been kind to you. it takes a turn for the stranger when you're chosen to wed the owner of the manor atop the mountain—a mysterious, eccentric lord that no one has ever seen. [SERIES - COMPLETE]

ｊｕｎｇ ｗｏｏｙｏｕｎｇ:

god save the queen (m): london, 1976. punk is in full swing, and you’re reminded that jung wooyoung has a mouth on him, in every sense of the word.

nothing yet !

note: i will only be writing for heeseung and 02z, as i don’t feel comfortable writing for sunoo, jungwon or ni-ki!  

nothing yet !

ｊｅｏｎ ｗｏｎｗｏｏ:

awaken, my love!: all you want to do is sleep, goddammit. but wonwoo, god bless him, does not. at four in morning, however, you’re not the most patient person.

ｐａｒｋ ｊｉｎｙｏｕｎｇ:

danse macabre: park jinyoung is your everything, but he’s not everything you thought he was. in fact, he’s something much, much worse.   

ｋｉｍ ｙｕｇｙｅｏｍ:

do you believe in magic?:  inspired by the HP quote, “me dad’s a muggle. mam’s a witch. bit of a nasty shock for him when he found out.”
