#i love and appreciate you so much

[purple-babygirl]

I'm sorry to hear that your interview didn't go well :( I know that can be really hard. Sending hugs your way <3 <3 <3

I mean, I thought I didn't do good enough but I just got the feedback email like an hour ago and they actually thought differently because I got the best feedback I could've ever gotten.

But, can I still have the hugs?:"

Seriously tho, thank you so so much for caring enough to send me this sweet ask. I was super depressed last night and didn't see it, but it feels even better today to see your kindness when I have just received amazing news.

So you guys are getting a new part of the story tomorrow because I'm gonna stay up all night happy-writing.

I love you with all my heart thank you so much for being here💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hi Moth 💙

I'm not gonna sit here and tell you not to be so hard on yourself, cuz let's be real, feelings are so much more complicated than that, and we don't always have that much control, and that's okay.

So instead, can I sit here with you and hold space for feelings? You can put your head in my lap if you want, I'll run my fingers through your hair or rub your scalp while we just sit and talk, or don't talk at all.

You're so loved 💙 and we are here for you however you need it. Things will get better with time. But, for right now, it's okay to not be okay. There's all the time in the world to let yourself rest and regroup.

💙

Hey bby, happy new year! how are you? I hope that you are feeling better and are well rested. So I managed to get a B+ for both the paper and the class but that’s okay because reading the update was the healing and comfort I needed to get over that. Before you go any further I also want to say I'm really sorry this ended up being super long 😭 but this is by far my favorite chapter of the whole story.

Okay now where do I start 😭

It took me a few day to get through the chapter because i wanted to read it when I am not fatigued or sleepy or stressed over my grades, so i read little by little to make sure that i absorbed every word. It was so good and as always i was blown away. There were moments where i would just stop and go back and reread certain parts over and over again before being able to move on because they were simply beautiful. I swear i could cry, and yes part of it is because of the angst you write to move the story along, but the main reason is because of the way you write it; the way you use words, scenery and observable details and intertwine them with emotions and how one thought flows into the next….. yea mesmerizing is the only word i can think of.

First of all, i really loved the hyunjin perspective at the beginning. It was much needed and long awaited and I’m kind of disappointed that hyunjin didn’t recognize her immediately from when they were younger (i still have hope that it will eventually click for him at some point later on but if it doesn’t its okay since my boy is already whipped and has been captivated by yn since the start). Regardless, I loved the insight into his life in the city and the decision making that led to him going back home. Like we already knew the reason, but reading about it from his perspective is very different and much more impactful.

The party was… frustrating to put it very simply. I really forgot how annoying Hana can be and the way she can be a total bitch (excuse my language). Not only has she been a terrible friend this whole time, taking out her heartbreak on her friends, using hyunjin when she didn’t even like him that much even though im pretty sure she saw or could guess that yn has feeling for him, but now she has the nerve to gaslight yn and blame her for having feelings for hyunjin… she didn’t even stop to listen. At this point it feels like hana is trying to find a reason to start shit with yn and make her out to be the bad person just to feel better about herself and the way she’s been acting after yeonjun left. Like she can’t stand being the bad one here, so she’s trying to make yn out to be a worse person than her. At this point I can’t even bring myself to give her the benefit of the doubt cause it doesn’t take that much to at least shut up and listen to the whole story from yn’s perspective.

Also, this may just be me obsessing over detail and reading too much into it, but I have a feeling that yn did get into the apprenticeship but missed the email. Technically speaking, you didn’t write her actually reading the contents of the email, or even looking through her email. She just straight up jumped onto the website to check there. She’s been stressed, overwhelmed and on top of all that, she was drunk and upset that she’s been “ignored” by hyunjin, so i can’t help but think that maybe she just skipped over the email or missed something. And even when this comes up again when she’s talking to hyunjin, she only shows him the website page too, and insists that they didn’t contact her. Did she even check, or is she simply letting defeat crush her? I could be wrong but I hope that im not.

The whole conversation at the pool is also one of my favorite in the whole story so far. There was so much depth that allows us to REALLY see how similar and different hyun and yn are, and how their experiences have shaped them. You gave us a really nice window into who they are simply by them talking about who their favorite paintings and artists are. Another reason why I love this scene is because it makes us see how much they are meant to be, because of how deep their conversations can be. And I know that we’ve seen this before in pretty much every conversation they have when they are alone, but something about this whole scene was much more intimate. Oh! And don’t even get me started on the whole tangibly changing each other!!!! Bestie how do you even come up with such beautiful ways to convey these ideas?!!! I cry!

Okay now, as someone who doesn’t really enjoy phone sex and just doesn’t understand the overall idea (this is just a personal preference), your writing of the whole scene still managed to get to me, like girl what type of magician are you?? The tension was insane and the way that they were holding back but then just went “fuck it”. it was very natural and fitting of their situation and how many times they’ve edged themselves. I honestly never thought that i could enjoy reading a phone sex scene before. That being said, I’m kind of glad that their meeting could potentially be put off longer and they wont actually do it until they’ve resolved their personal problems with those around them and their own relationship with each other. I would rather they are happier when they finally do it and have it be associated with good memories rather than the heartache that they are going through. It probably sounds very tempting to just ignore the overwhelming texts and confrontations from Felix, Hana and even ditching jun to feel better by meeting hyunjin but I hope that yn does take things bit by bit and sort everything out with everyone first.

I’m pretty sure Felix thinks that he’s doing yn a favor by texting her that he wants to explain things and he’s probably gonna tell her everything he knows about hyunjin (probably using all the research he’s done from those baseless online articles). Maybe he’s gonna confess and use that as justification for why she should choose him instead. I think this is just gonna push them apart even more. I’d be surprised if he tries to be understanding, but I doubt my girl yn will have things get easy for her this soon. (My heart aches for her 💔)

For hana, honestly, I want to believe that she wants to talk to yn to set things straight and apologize for the way she spoke to yn and the way she has been acting but she’s let us and yn down so many times that I don’t want to get my hopes up. Like i get that she’s probably going through her own emotional baggage, especially with yeonjun back in town, but that doesn’t justify her actions towards yn and even hyunjin and yeonjun. So I don’t really know what to expect from a confrontation with Hana, but i know that i won’t be disappointed cause I don’t have high hopes for her redemption at this point.

Yeonjun honestly deserves so much better than hana and a part of me is glad that he is seeing her for who she is and is realizing that things may not be the same as they used to be with hana, but the other part of me feels really bad for him and still wants to see a world in SLWY where these two could get back together and maybe.. just maybe everything else will fall back to place for the rest of the friend group. I’m really glad that yn and yeonjun have each other at this point.

Anyways, those messages from hyunjin's gc made my heart drop and you leaving us with this cliffhanger should be illegal. It’s too much for my girl (and hyunnie), they need a break!

Now on to a few of my favorite lines, cause this chapter had so many gems:

“Hyunjin realised he still had the mask on. It wasn’t necessary, so he pulled it down, fingers pinching the fabric to drop the face-mask to his chin, so you could look at him, and it was stupid because he was compromising his identity but he couldn’t help it.”

this right here, i can’t explain it properly but its like one of those kdrama moments where everything slows and you get different shots from different angles and its one of those moments where the leads act on their feelings without thinking, only at this point they still don’t know it but we do.

“One day Hyunjin could convince himself that it was the watercolors he really went back for instead of you.”

!!!!!!!!!!

“Hyunjin turned away immediately — not wanting to see a potential kiss, realising he had already overstepped his boundaries by being here. The window of opportunity had closed anyway, and there was no way he could go and ask you to open the shop up again, just for him.”

are we still talking about getting the watercolors here hyunjinnie or is the window of opportunity referring to a potential crush that we may be having?

“Carnival rides lined up against the horizon. Wisps of pink and orange clouds melting into the disappearing sun. It was gorgeous - the collision of colors, each fighting for its place in the sky, even though the sky was big enough to accommodate all, and perhaps everything could coexist.”

the language here is beautiful and how you described the colors coexisting in the sky that’s big enough… I love how this mirrors their emotions at this moment and how it perfectly portrays their conflicting desire and what they believe is the “right” thing to do

“the corners of his lips tugged up in a smile that didn’t seem happy at all, and you knew that neither of you were talking about the pretty sunset anymore.

You wish you could paint the sky, and Hyunjin wished that he could photograph it.

Some desires were tangible.

You wish Hyunjin could let himself love you.

But some wishes were impossible.”

no words here. I just love this! Honestly this whole exchange between them in line for the Ferris wheel was heart wrenching and so full of emotion I felt the ache, I reread the whole scene countless times.

“It was ironic that now you were going to inevitably stay in Daejon, you had nothing to stay for.”

this like broke me? Like no baby don’t say that! Don’t give up on your dream! Even if she doesn’t get into the program, there will be other opportunities for her to grasp on to!

“He then dropped his hand, lips curled up, 'And that’s just from one night together. Imagine if we spent every day together…we’d leave so many traces, and marks…on each other'

You were finding it hard to breathe, because Hyunjin was so simple, but Hyunjin was so…complex.”

!!!!!!!!!!!!

that last line somehow reminds me of you and how simply you write such complex ideas and concepts. It’s beautiful. You’re beautiful.

Okay I'll stop here before i end up copying every line you wrote and this becomes a full on essay about how much I loved this chapter.

As always, thank you for for sharing your art with us and giving us this beautiful masterpiece! Please take care love!

ill answer under the cut, but sorry for getting around so late to this, even though its for part 13, and this means so much to me.

this review honestly made my day. part 13 was the one i struggled with the most since i was dealing with a lot of changes in my life and started postgrad and it was generally written during a tough part, and i was veryyyy unhappy with it, especially now that i look back on how i felt then.

but this review. thank you! thank you for calling it mesmerizinf. for appreciating it. despite the initial wait, and despite it not being my 100%.

im glad you liked reading his pov! that scene is so important to who he is as a person, and its our first glimpse into the city that has been spoken about countless times, so it felt important to me to include that.

the confrontation with hana was frustrating but it was definitely coming, and things will be easier now so dont worry haha.

about the apprenticeship and her not getting in…guess we’ll find out 👀

the pool scene !! that was the few i was happy with omg thank you for loving the tangible conversation, and youre right it is so intimate

:( writing their conversations is my favorite thing to do.

thank you for telling me your favorite quotes. i look forward to that SO MUCH because i put a lot of thought into every single line and sentence and for those to be singled out and appreciated makes my heart melt and pound and stir.

thank you. you make me feel grateful to be writing this.

[hansoeii]

we go just right.

what's so clever about Clara Bow is that when she references her own name at the end, she's not talking about the present but the future, quoting the inevitable way people are going to one day talk about her, imagining it will only be in regards to the woma(e)n who surpass her. because there will be someone who surpasses her, eventually. that's the cycle of fame, isn't it? we're simultaneously captivated by the alluring trick of the past while looking for the next big thing. we compare current stars to the lights that shined before them, "you look like taylor swift." but we're also constantly waiting for someone new and greater to take the crown and captivate us anew, "you've got edge she never did." And half the song is about acknowledging that being revered is hell on earth for the people who are in it, because you're always trapped between what came before and what will come after. you're only safe insofar as you remain shiny. But the real beauty of the song is that it never succumbs to this dichotomy, but embraces it. It's Taylor acknowledging she wouldn't be who she is were it not for the women who came before her, who shared the same dreams, and recognizing her place in the chain of the women who will come after. The future's bright, dazzling.

Hey fanfiction writers: If no one's ever told you this before, it's not just fanfiction.

It's something you spent hours, days, maybe even months on, pouring your heart out onto a page because you were so full of passion and thoughts about a story or characters, you felt like you were going to explode if you didn't get it out. Maybe you lost sleep because your mind was racing with ideas or you forgot to eat or drink water because you were so focused. Maybe your back aches from being hunched over for so long, unmoving. Maybe you even felt like you were going a little feral because you were so excited about what you were creating, or were frustrated when you got stuck. Either way, you put your heart, mind, soul, and body into making something.

It's okay to want people to read it, and it's okay if you're disappointed that they don't or it doesn't get as much of a reaction as you were hoping for. Humans are social creatures. Sure, we write for ourselves, but we also share because the joy of doing so is just as powerful as the joy of the process. Of having created something.

We all experience that joy and that disappointment, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

So it's okay. It's not just fanfiction.

Hey y'all! I've really felt like making more cc lately, but I'm determined to upload some more of my completed recolors before I hop into any new projects. Here we have two summer themed recolors, a dress and a jumpsuit! Details, credits and download links below the cut.

DETAILS:

These are recolors of @joliebean's jungle dress and @akalukery's plunge halter jumpsuit. Mesh is included thanks to the original creators generous tou's, but I recommend you check out and download the originals as well.

the dress has 15 swatches and the jumpsuit has 12, various summer themed patterns for both.

Both have custom thumbnails for the first swatch.

You can see an unedited in-game photo of some more swatches right here.

these definitely aren't perfect recolors, but honestly I think they work just fine and I liked how they ended up so I figured I'd share.

P.S sorry that i'm never going to use any other preview style for CAS cc, it's just too easy to use this template and I do not have the energy to do proper previews anymore especially if i'm going to be uploading a bunch of stuff, which i plan to!

CREDIT:

thank you to joliebean and akalukery for their generous tou's and for the original meshes.

Patterns found via freepik, vecteezy, spoonflower, maybe a few from colourlovers/google. All credit goes to the original creators for their lovely patterns!
