#one of my favourite aspects of tumblr ngl

[just-honey-dewd]

Listened to “Happy Day in Hell” on loop a few days ago. Did anyone else think that one guy sounded an awful lot like Stan Pines?

[chobani-flip]

buddie goggles and why you might enjoy wearing them more if you acknowledge them

so yeah, i think the buddie goggles are a real issue. (ive had them too, fellow shippers, no judgment) like, is it possible that buck and eddie will at some point start a deeply fulfilling romantic relationship? yes. is it what's happening on screen right now and what the show is 100% suggesting is imminent? no. sorry, it's just not.

look, the thing with analysing and interpreting any text is that it's very much about finding things that the text is doing, what could be there, looking at it from different angles and choosing to focus on certain aspects: that's why you have feminist readings of X and queer readings of Y, etc

but if you go looking at a text with the intention of looking for authorial intent and secret messages the author is leaving that only you and the fandom can pick up on correctly? that's such a slippery, tricky slope.

consider:

simply communicating ideas face to face to one single other person can often end in misunderstandings

communicating ideas in writing?... well, we live in the pissing on the poor era of the internet, don't we.

like, how many times have you read/written something, looked at the comments and gone: but...that's not what's there? like, interesting that you see it, but also, i don't know where you got that from

see where I'm going with this?

there is so much that goes into the making of a tv show besides the script and actors' delivery that i am absolutely not an expert on: costumes, set dressing, blocking, lighting, editing, soundtrack...

taking any of those aspects and analysing it and looking for connections is my favourite thing to do and read about and...

ngl, watching the show and looking for buddie in all of them is so much fun. i love it, it's what got me into 911 in the first place.

but i promise you, the moment you stop acknowledging that that's what you're doing, that what you're doing is a Buddie reading of 911, and instead proclaim it as the one single truth? that's when you set yourself up for a wild and not always pleasant ride.

and this isn't about having or not having faith in the writers or buddie or the one they call tim, and honestly, it's kind of telling that the word "faith" is used so often.

it's about accepting that while watching a tv show, we're all putting ourselves in a position of observing the shadows of plato's cave with binoculars on a low-visibility day. (ok. that's a really pretentious twatty thing to say, but i'll leave it there because i think the image is funny. ) and no amount of media literacy is going to give you a clear insight into the minds and intentions of all of the people creating the show (can we please stop shouting at people to get "media literacy" if they disagree with our interpretation of a text, even if what they're saying sounds dumb)

now, i don't know if yall were here for the TJLC thing back then, and I am absolutely not saying that what the Sherlock show did and what 911 is doing is in any shape or form similar, however, on tumblr and amongst the fandom, the lead-up to season 4 and then the secret fourth episode fallout felt exactly like what some parts of the 911 fandom are doing now. so... just take care, friends. and don't be dicks to people who disagree with you over a ship.

[lyriumsings]

for octavia: hero, fans, and development!

Hi!! Thank you for the ask! I’m gonna try to be less wordy because tumblr keeps eating my paragraphs lol

Hero: What is their favourite thing about G? Why is your MC such a big fan?

Probably their lyricism. Octavia is a very wordy person lol. They would most admire someone who has a lot of poetic, witty songs that can be interpreted multiple ways. Also G’s versatility. I personally like songs that feel like multiple songs in one and I think they would too. Or artists who are just capable of a wide range of sounds and styles which G canonically is.

Overall, it’s just that G is original and unpredictable. After meeting G in person, ngl I think they’re about what Octavia expected. Nobody’s perfect and G is a rock star so it seems pretty accurate that they would be Like That.

Fans: How is their relationship with their fans? Do they go out of their way to interact? 

Octavia loves their fans and interacting with them. Anyone who likes their music Octavia feels on some level understands them and may or may not feel the same as them. Their songs are usually deeply personal so Octavia really is putting a lot of themself out there when they perform.

Their music is not very “family friendly” but as a former hardcore music fan in my teens that hardly matters. Teens make up a lot of demographics anyway especially like sad ones lmao. So the fan aspect and the “influencing the young” part of fame are aspects she takes very seriously.

And as cliche as it sounds it’s still true that without fans Octavia wouldn’t have any sort of career. I imagine at the height of their career in the future they’ll go out of their way to do things for them. Buy food for people waiting in queue for their concerts, pay off college debt, etc.

Development: How did you come up with your character? Is their design still evolving? How do you think they might develop through the story?

I LOVE this question!! OK SO!! I kind of try to build my MCs into the narrative? Basically, I try to make a character that would be the most interesting (have the most issues lmaooo) to me. It’s hard to some up all the factors i take into consideration when making them because in my head it’s so complicated.

Step one is always pick a name lol. It’s honestly probably the hardest part for me. Finding a name that feels right and fits the setting is really important to me and after that comes everything else. Their actually personality is dependent on the personality of the characters they’re surrounded by based on that I decide how outgoing or introverted or well adjusted lol they are. Because that controls the dynamic between the characters.

And then based on their personality I start building the background so they have reasons to be that way. Whether they had supportive parents or any at all. If they were poor or rich etc etc. It helps me shape core character values.

Visually though, I always start with the face! Drawing the face is always my favorite part!! And I try to give them features that either compliment or contradict their personality. For Octavia specifically I wanted them to look kind of soft?? Which is something they actually don’t like—rounded cheeks puppy dog eyes etc.—and this is something she actively tries to offset with make up on stage. Octavia actually thinks they’re kind of plain so that’s why they wear make up at all on stage they don’t think they’re ugly they just don’t think they’re what a rock star is “supposed to look like”.

Next I go for palette which is also one of my favorite parts!! I always knew they were gonna be bipoc because *I am* and I would’ve killed for a lead of a alt/rock/punk whatever band that looked like them when I was a kid. Bipoc are incredibly underrepresented in that particular music scene so lol yeah. And I actually went back and forth on their hair color a lot but red just idk popped the best.

Are they still evolving visually? yes but mostly in the fashion department lol. I still have a lot of experimentation to cover; and narratively I think her development will go into a more hopeful place lol. But not until after a lot of angst. I’m a sucker for a happy ending so i’m gonna do my best to give them one bUT character building comes with suffering first so fksjdj but I mostly develop the character into what I think is the most interesting path? So, ngl it really just depends on what is thrown at them. If it makes sense for them to spiral out/things to go wrong and there’s a sequel with a change to fix it I might let them spiral out lol but overall I like happy ends after a good amount of trial so most likely Octavia will develop into a better version of themself lol

Thank you for the ask! “I’m gonna talk less” I said lol so that was a lie apparently.

[dollopheadsandclotpoles]

Adam Parrish, Guinevere Pendragon, and brienne of tarth for character asks!

YO. Excellent choices, friend.

ADAM

First impression: Ok so you're NOT going to believe me? But when I started reading Raven Boys and the name 'Ronan Lynch' came up I was like... I feel like I've heard this name before on tumblr and I think he has a crush on one of the other boys, and I was hoping it was Adam and not Gansey because their intro scene they're just insulting each other and I am personally a slut for that dynamic. So essentially my very first impression of Adam was literally that I wanted him to be the one Ronan was crushing on instead of Gansey gjdkhfg

Impression now: Actual Love Of My Life, Boy After My Own Heart

Favorite moment: The moment that made me fall in love with him was the moment when he talks to Blue outside of Nino's cause I was instantly like... ok he's precious and I love him.

Idea for a story: I mean I've written a lot already ^.^ but I do wanna write some fluff about him and Ronan being trapped overnight in a classroom together

Unpopular opinion: His college friends are... not that great

Favorite relationship: Ronan.

Favorite headcanon: That the dog from trailer park was his dog and that Ronan managed to steal her, and she now lives with them at the Barns

GWEN

First impression: Gwen's intro was really adorable ngl. Like I enjoy the awkward, dorky conversation she has with Merlin at the stocks so much. I definitely thought she was very adorkable

Impression now: Gwen grew less... like... relatable over the seasons? I guess? It's not her fault, I just felt like past season 1 the writing for her character started going downhill and by the last two seasons she was extremely bland

Favorite moment: Love when she calls Arthur out on his shit for the very first time, that was a great moment

Idea for a story: It would be cool to have a story where Morgana kidnaps her, but instead of like torturing her and turning her evil, it plays out more like Beauty and the Beast

Unpopular opinion: Her villain arc was cool actually

Favorite relationship: I love her friendship with Merlin, like that was definitely a big part of season one that we lost out on later

Favorite headcanon: That her and Leon get together after Arthur's death

BRIENNE

First impression: I loved Brienne from the very first second she appeared on screen, no lies

Impression now: Nothing has changed. If anything I love her even more

Favorite moment: When she killed those three men in one go, and that whole "Two quick deaths" speech, like WHAT a scene

Idea for a story: Again I've written a few already haha. Would love a Mulan AU for Jaime/Brienne.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think Brienne crying when Jaime leaves her made her seem weak. She WEPT over Renly when he died too. It's a striking aspect of her character that she's got this innocence and vulnerability to her while also being physically very strong. Like people can be sensitive and also badass and she encapsulates that so brilliantly

Favorite relationship: Jaime.

Favorite headcanon: Favourite show headcanon is that everything post her getting knighted didn't happen

[damianbugs]

Hey i just wanted to say, as i think I've worked through almost all of your Batman related fics (I've been trying to pace myself ngl) that you have written some of my favorite pieces for these characters. I really, really love the ways in which you work with everyone's characterization, and how you explore the themes throughout the series as a whole.

You have a really wonderful way of filling in small mundane moments that give a lot of life to characters and their relationships as well! The little gentle things, y'know? My Body's Made of Crushed Little Stars, the Hues in Our Hair Compliment One Another, and Don't You Cry, Dry Your Eyes, are all gonna stick with me for a very long time. There's soooooo much nuance in how responsibility, care, and love are felt (and conveyed).

When it comes to conflict and difficult conversations, you do an excellent job of showing how distinctly different people can handle and think through these sorts of things. And how this is impacted with narrators and POV! I really like how you communicate the depth of interactions and manage to convey the stuff going on behind the scenes in non-narrating characters heads all the while.

I also like the ways in which you write that reflect how people change over the course of their lives - the one you have that's Jason's notebook esp - and how a point of conflict is multifaceted. And how resolution and mutual understanding takes time and work to develop. Things feel earned!

Plus I've really appreciated seeing your thoughts on the metatextual implications of things as well! It's given me lots to think about. Overall i just wanted to say thank you! You're a wonderful author!

oh. oh i'm totally, entirely normal about this and not at all tearing up. not at all.

thank you so much! genuinely. i am eternally grateful you not only read and enjoy my writing but also that you took the time to write such a wonderful comment on it all. i think, as you've said, this will stick with me for a very long time too. i hope you don't mind if i respond to this in equally as much detail to show how thankful i am.

the works you have pointed out coincidentally happen to be some of my favourite ones to ever write, and i am so glad you've felt that through the story too! there's a lot to be forgotten when it comes to these handful of dynamics, but that fact alone means that there are infinite conversations and situations you can pick apart for them. it's so important to me that this is shown in every aspect of the fic, from dialogue to descriptions, so again, can not explain how happy i am that this translated over into your reading experience.

another thing i always try to do is create a story outside of the story, just for the added bonus of realism and empathy i hope to develop in the characters, and!! i'm so so happy you've caught it!! i do not know how to explain how insanely grateful i am to hear your analysis on these aspects of my fics!! totally not tearing up again.

time is another villain in a lot of these characters stories, and regardless of the time of fic or plot, it is a theme i try to incorporate heavily in my writing. it is often the route cause of conflict, but also the most powerful form of healing, for both readers and characters. change can be something so violent, and when it is deconstructed, i find the edges can be softened into something less unbearable and something that allows a story to be told on its own.

oh the meta!!! the meta!!!! you are so wonderful tumblr user bittershins!!! i am so incredibly attached to these characters and the stories they tell by simply existing, and i am surely unbearable in my efforts to make that clear through my writing. thank you for noticing!!!!

thank YOU. sincerely. this means the world to me. i hope you will continue to enjoy reading my works and any pertaining these characters, and i hope you know this has inflated my ego to incredible heights. i am about to make it everyone elses problem. thank you <3 !!!

BIRTHDAY :   2nd of June

AESTHETIC : Orange n black. cryptid (affectionate)

LAST  SONG  YOU  LISTENED  TO :  Tokyo Drifting - Glass Animals.

FAVOURITE  MUSE(S)  YOU’VE  WRITTEN : God I couldn’t pick lmao, I’d say I probs enjoy writing for my OCs more over canons tho (generally)

⤷ GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  ACCOUNT

WHAT  INSPIRED  YOU  TO  TAKE  ON  THIS  MUSE : I’ve had the chars (well, most of em) for years now, but got Super into destiny and started talkin to a friend abt ocs in the verse, eventually coaxed myself onto tumblr and that Really inspired me to keep goin with destiny stuff

FAVOURITE  ASPECTS  OF  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE :  Even if I don’t like to pick favourites between them. I do love writing for Sam just bc of how they are if that counts dsfgds they’re always just so entertaining. Scout’s kinda the same but in a different way

FAVOURITE  TYPES  OF  THREADS :  m m m well. fluff is great. amazing. but also. angst. but also hurt/comfort. but i also like more violent stuff too. ngl theres not a lot i genuinely dont enjoy writing, so long as i have the muse for it, except like obvious hard limit stuff

okayy let’s do a quick q & a😭😭

1 ) have you ever been in a relationship? if so, what was the ups and downs?

2 ) favourite anime’s & why?

3 ) sza or summer walker?

4 ) pros and cons of tumblr?

5 ) if you had to pick ONE anime character to marry, who would it be and why?

i thought of these rn so they’re random but its whatevaaa

ooooo a q+a :)

1. I’ve never been in a relationship but I was messing around with folks. I think most of the downs were on my part since I was highkey clingy and always wanted their attention on me and only on me. but at the same time, I was still learning on how to actually “give love romantically” to other folks. an up that they were cool peoples and actually accepted me for who I am :)

2. favorite animes would be (in order) tokyo revengers, jjk, aot

tokyo revengers. the storyline + character design is soooo freaking cool to me. PLUS THE COVERS???? every single cover have never failed me and they ALWAYS look like models on the covers. the storyline itself doesn’t sound all that great tbh but I think once you start reading the manga, you’ll understand why and I like how it’s different to where you don’t have to be strong to win

jjk. the way gege use women will always amaze me + I will love. as a women, it’s finally refreshing to see that they aren’t depending on the men for their strength and can actually fight on their own. not only that, it gives me different aspects of jujutsu ( which I never knew about) I’m an open-minded person so I like to tap into different things

aot. again the character design + the plot is just MWAH, chef’s kiss !! who you know wanna eradicate all the things wrong with the world just to become one of them? though I do sometimes have an issue with eren himself and some parts can be confusing ngl. props to isayama for this AMAZING work of art

3. SZA SZA SZA !! DEFINITELY SZA. don’t get me wrong I love me some summer but sza is just 😩 her vibe and I love her SOOOOOOO MUCH

4. I’m only gonna state one pro and con cause I have ALOT

pro: it’s easier to make internet friends/mutuals on here since you can connect with people who share the same interest as you. also, it’s easier to search up whatever you’re looking for like bakugou x black reader or x chubby reader

con: in the beginning, it’s kind of hard to navigate so you have absolutely no clue on wtf to do, where to go, or who to follow

[ohoshi]

i’m ready to sue tumblr ngl. i knew tumblr would pull this shit so i had everything written in notes before so i’m just copying pasting it again cidjxn

HELUURRR IM SORRY IM SO LATE TO REPLY I GOT CAUGHT UP WITH,,, life

GDA ONE OF THEIR BEST PERFORMANCES WITHOUT DOUBT. minghao solo? like woooooo *inaudible screams*

people forgetting svt has loyal fan base is literally so annoying like just cause we don’t fight and shit why do you forget us. I hate when people sleep on svt. like they didn’t work their ass of for 10 years just for them to forget how much svt sets standards in kpop in all aspects. music? variety? producing? vocal? dance? SYNCHRONISATION?

REMEMBER THAT SOONHOON TIKTOK FOR BICYCLE????!!!!

i love dark concepts definitely esp for music my taste is really rock, ballad, r&b and inde rock. so my music taste goes really well with dark concepts basically but i really love concepts like fallin flower and henggarae; warm and pretty ones.

i mean i can’t just pick one fjdjxn THEIR MUSIC IS INCREDIBLE <3 the shots for your choice is really beautiful. i bought it and damn the photo of hoshi smiling is my favourite photo in all album <33 my sweet 10:10 boy.

I DIDNT REALISE I CHOSE ONE FROM ALL THREE UNITS FJRJX. okay so these days mister wonu and seungkwan are just 🥰🥰🥰 to me . BUT IF I GO ON ABOUT THESE THREE PLS THIS ALREADY SO LONG BUT ALLOW ME.

OKAY SO COUPS !!!!!! OUR LEADER !! i absolutely adore how caring and loving he is to other members and just how his leadership skills are so good. something about men who are soft authoritative (?) and reliable is so attractive. not to mention he’s such a good rapper and vocalist. i am really attracted to his deep yet soft vocals but then when he raps it’s SO RAW LIKE SET ME ON FIRE PLS. also i absolutely adore how whiny and sulky he gets and how tiny and cute he is with members,,, who’s the hyung again?

Woozi, my man. my actual ideal man. i do relate to him in a lot of ways and we do have similar mbti. i have immense respect for people who can make music and play instruments cause that’s something i have ALWAYS wanted to do and jihoon making music is so attractive to me. He’s so TALENTED!! what can’t he do? god really said i’ll make a man so perfect . he’s so effortlessly funny, adorable and talented. he’s so fun,, like he always has some story up his sleeve about members and just roasts them. and when he throws his head back and laughs !!! his laugh is so contagious like sir ? do you know what you’re doing to me? he’s so hardworking. I love how jihoon is very open and hyper in gose for a while <3

Chan!! LEE DINO!!!! URI ACE. PERFECT . that man is just perfect. i love dino’s dance style A LOT. the way he always used his whole body and more feet work but with isolation is just really <33 it’s so powerful to me. and his voice !!! both for vocal and rap,,, so beautiful and honey like. AND CAN I JUST GO ON ABOUT HIS CHOREOGRAPHIES CAUSE HELLO? THEYRE SO GOOD AND HES SO YOUNG. like HE CHOREOGRAPHED FLOWER AT THE AGE OF 18!!!! i WAS STRUGGLING TO ORGANISE MY NOTES AT THE AGE OF 18! And pls he’s so savage. ngl this red dino for your choice brought him to the top of my bias list.

i do tend to like little heavy voices (?) since i’m really sensitive to high pitch and shrill voices due to my migraine that’s why i tend to listen to more bg that ggs. Dreamcatcher’s music REALLY suits my taste and their voices are so unique and like deep. Except for like a proper carat i would only call myself a n.fia . i am major kband trash (i hope that doesn’t give me away)

shinee me beloved <3 truly the original trendsetters. i love shinee too but i would call myself a causal stan! I like to keep up as much but i don’t really?

sadly i haven’t been to any concert :((

i was going to make a playlist as per the third week theme but it will give away my name fnrjdj. Okay so !! Your favourite concept and fanchant? have been to any concert or interacted w svt irl? OOO FAVOURITE JAPANESE TRACK? Fav title track?

sorry for the inconvenience! 😔

Highlights of 2020

I was tagged by @maddiesup, thank you so much! I’m so glad you though of me! Quickly before it’s 00:00 where I live lol

list your top 10 shows (bl or not) you watched in 2020 (doesn’t necessarily have to be shows that came out in 2020 though!)

tag at least 10 people you appreciated this year

tag 10 more people to continue the tag

Let’s do this y’all!

Top 10 shows

1. #GayaSaPelikula (Like in the movies)

Ngl, it’s one of the best shows I’ve watched this year. The struggle of coming out and ofcourse the struggle of finding yourself was beautifully displayed. Also, Gav breaking down had me in tears, I compare to him in quite some aspects so it hit close to home. The music is amazing and I listen to the playlist almost daily. BUT THE QUOTES! The ending quotes, they are one of my favourite quotes ever.

TOP 3 QUOTES:

1. Let’s make room for those who’ve lost their sense of home.

2. You are entitled to a love that lets you dance without fear or shame.

3. You own the rights to your own truth.

I can’t wait for season two!

2. Where your eyes linger

It was the first Korean BL I watched and I’m sad that the full show was only 80 min in total! To be honest I wanted to see so much more of both of them and I’ll rewatch it so many times in 2021 too, I already know. The bestfriend but also master-servant dynamic and just all of them as a cast hold my heart. I hope to see many more good bl’s from Korea in 2021!

3. Cherry Magic

I kind of finished the year with Cherry Magic! And if that wasn’t an amazing ride! The characters, the setting the fact that it wasn’t just another teenager love story but actually a bit more mature. Also seeing ‘older’ characters still struggle with insecurities and anxiety is such a refreshing thing to view. This had made me much more excited for other Japanese BL’s that are still on my watching list! ALSO Kurosawa being a cutie and just wanting Adachi to be happy and Adachi trying to get out of his comfort zone it’s just- amazing. The show was truly magical. (I’d share my watching list but it’s 100+ shows so maybe some other time y’all)

4. TharnType: 7 years of love

I love the first season of TT a lot so I was low-key counting down the days until the second season came for all of us. (as a fan I of course do see the toxic parts but that’s also for maybe another post sometime, probably not lol) But I was excited to see how they unfold the rest of the show in 2021 and I love what we’ve had so far. I mean I do get annoyed quite a few (Fiat ngl) but the sweetness (and hotness, I mean who are we kidding) from Tharn and Type I love it a lot!! I can’t wait to rewatch it a million times when it’s finally ended. Can’t wait!

5.  My Engineer

As much as I started watching for Bohn and Duen, I stayed for Ram and King. Their dynamic is amazing and even though they’re not the main couple they have way more depth to their relationship that I had expected there to be. I truly fell in love with King as a person (got so obsessed that I bought a bag similar to his). Ram doesn’t deserve the struggles he has to go through. I can’t wait to see how all of their stories (not only RamKing’s) will unfold in the new year. I hope so see so much more of all of their faces and I’ll keep an eye out for their other projects in this upcoming year.

6.  Strong Woman Bong Soon

Not a BL but what a show, I actually started this show in 2019 once and a few minutes in I lost all attention and couldn’t find a motivation to continue watching but when I started this year the pilot had me wanting to know what would happen and I also didn’t expect to fall face first for our one and only In Kook-Doo (Ji Soo). If you haven’t watched it yet, I hope it will come on your watch list because it only took me 2 to 3 days to finish it because it’s so good. Do not start watching it if you have more important things to do (test, deadlines, etc) cuz you might not actually finish.

7. The Prince of Tennis

I watched it earlier this year and then rewatched it at the end of the year and I still loved it so much. I tend to like sport anime’s quite a bit, and this is actually a ‘live-action’ version of an anime and I fell in love with all of it. The characters, their quirks and all of their ‘powers’ and ‘moves’, I always go quicker through the show than I think and then it’s over so quickly :( Still, if you like sports anime (free, haikyuu, etc) check it out!

8. 2gether (& Still2gether)

2gether is the epitome of fluff and even though it holds a dash of angst and a lot of amazing character development. I had a smile on my face the most of the time I was watching this show. And Still2gether was one of the best surprises for me this year, extra episodes in the same year? More of my fluffly bois? My angry-I-stab-you-boi and puppy-boi facing challenges and overcoming them? The KISSES? Yes. I don’t have much to say other than, it was good and I do hope to see more of both Win and Bright, I hope as a couple in the show ngl, soon but I’ll support them either way. I wish them so much succes and love.

9. Ingredients

Ingredients was a show I saw quite a bit of on tumblr, and we all know, if your mutuals watch it, put it on you list! So it got on my list the beginning of 2020 but I actually started watching it more towards the end and I fell in love with both of the characters and all of the support characters too, I hope to see much more cuteness from both of them and I can’t wait for other episodes. Also why are the episodes only so short? I want more of my bois :D

10. I’m Tee, Me Too

Not a BL, but I love the characters and they are THE pillars of GMMTV so I had high hopes. And my hopes were met. A great show and even though the actors didn’t play the others romantic interest you could still see the amazing dynamic all of them had together. If you want to laugh (with a dash of angst for character development) then this is such a good show for you to watch!

People I appreciated this year!

so many people, I love you all so much! (sorry if I forget you :()

@the-speediest-boi @sarawatism @negrowhat @incorrect-tharntype @kindaanartblog @leeairisu @lovelysunshine96 @zaintseeme @cu-tine @mewsuppasit

Thank you guys for making this year amazing and bringing so much joy to me <3

It’s been floating around tumblr for awhile so consider yourself tagged if either I already tagged you as a person I appreciated or if you want to fill it in anyway!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope all of you stay safe and healthy this new year! Let’s all work together so we can do much more later :) I love all of you and I hope all of your loved ones also stay safe <3

Fic Recs/Writers *updated 09/12/2019

THE LIBRARY IS OPEN DARLING....for some actual reading.

A list of fics/writers I’ve come across that got some of that pretty sweet stuff. And also because I’ve read around too much and can’t remember names or fics to save my life. THE UPDATES MAN!

Warning: Some fics (as will be indicated) are +18/rated M for Mature/take me to church kinda deal

@versigny

I’d say almost all of their stuff is worth a read (whoever your bias may be, they got stories on them), but my personal faves are their vampire au series, some +18 stuff there but majority of the stories are oneshots and drabbles

@honeyedhoseok (I think now @tawnytaehyung)

I’m sure everything they wrote is worth a read from what I’ve read thus far but because of that, I can really only recommend the three fics I actually read.

Series: Besitos (ta!Jimin) rated M for recent developments hoho~

Bruh why is this not reality? Why don’t we get really hot TAs to crush on? It would’ve made my school life hella easier and I’d get that perfect attendance. Jimin is your hottie creative writing TA who you can’t help but crush on (but can anyone blame you) and envious to all, he likes you back too. College au shenanigans, teacher/student dynamic, and dorky wingman ta!Taehyung friend.

Oneshot/drabbles (Crossroad demon!Jimin): Crossroads + Hunted + Captured Part One *NEW + Captured Part Two *NEW

I’d sell my soul to satan if he looks like bs&t!Jimin. You basically make a deal with crossroad demon!Jimin and can’t help but actually grow fond of the supposed devious, soul eating creature of hell.

Series: The Black Book (CEO!Hoseok) rated M

My heart can’t take the drama but it’s still a really good read. CEO!Hoseok may be young and rich but he definitely has some questionable methods of relieving stress, one that you’re all too aware of which makes things super awkward cuz you in love with the man. Does CEO!Hoseok eventually change thanks to you or do old habits die hard and just leave you in a world of hurt? Again if it’s Hoseok he can be the biggest jerkface and I’d still be charmed.

@dovechim

Shorts/Drabbles: the ocean (mermaid!Jimin) + drabble

Because goddammit mermaid!Jimin is cute okay??! (and I love me a good supernatural au of any sort) You’re a ballet dancer going to Busan Arts and stumble upon Jimin chillin’ in the water by the beach. You mistake him as fellow peer but hey he shows up to your class anyways (totally rocks the dance thing) but then as time passes, you find that something is quite...fishy about him.

Series: It’s okay, that’s love (splitpersonality!Jimin)

No not the drama. Okay so a shrink is still involved and that’s played by you and you’ve got water polo player!Jimin who has split personality disorder (he’s scary when he’s angry...) as your patient, except he doesn’t know about this ‘other self’ of his. As if feelings aren’t already making things complicated, imagine accidentally finding yourself rooming with him (along with your other favourite boys).

@hobibliophile

Okay so I might’ve read all of their Jimin stuff and yes. All yes (warning: they’re +18 stuff soooo)

The only other fic I’ve read from them is Ambrosia (M) starring Fallen Angel!Hoseok....I like supernatural au fics alright. Fallen angel or not, Hobi is still super sweet and since this is a series, we don’t know what the reason was and MAJOR CLIFFHANGER!

@jimlingss

Series: Beyond Reach (ghost!Hoseok) ft. Reaper!Namjoon and other ghosties

This shit made me nearly cry five times....FIVE TIMES. I say nearly because I don’t like crying so it took literally all my willpower to not (ended up with a runny nose though). ANGST AS SHIT. Has some triggering stuff involving death so be warned. It’s a good read though....BUT SAD AS HELL (at least it’s completed :’))

One Shot: Head Over Heels to Hell (reverse soulmate!AU, Childhood Friends to Enemies to Lovers! Hoseok x reader)

Oh yes, this was a WILD RIDE. Goddamn it’s like you hate the man but then in the end that shit got me emotional for some reason like djgskh good shit good shit (you have gone through multiple different lives meeting Hoseok, all of which he screws you over somehow but in the end of it all... perhaps things could still work out??)

Series: The Deli Diaries (produce! Jimin x Deli worker!you) fluff, slow-burn

Holy shit this is cute af. It’s so mundane (guess that’s a fair warning??) but just reading the way the relationship develops is just....ahh!!! I want my own cute Jimin who pines after my dumbass TAT

Series: Jungle Park (Workplace Romance AU, Lawyer! Hoseok x New HR Manager!Reader) fluff, slow-burn, slice of life, a little angst **NEW

A long series for those of you who love to read chapter fics! Oh my God this was a thrilling ride of emotions! The pacing is amazing, each chapter you’re hooked on wanting to see more development on the history between these two so it’s worth a read! I love how Hoseok is portrayed here; it’s like a piece of how he would be in real life is put into just another scenario (Also hate how reader is like... relatable in a way where I also majored in HR so...WHERE’S THE OFFICE ROMANCE LIFE TRAIN GONNA HIT ME WITH THAT??)

Three Shot: Magic & Mysteries (Familiar/Hybrid!Jimin x Witch! Reader) fluff, a little angsty, comedy, romance **NEW

A three shot series involving what the title says! Magic! It’s a little adventure tale of our reader who’s a witch struggling to find her place in terms of specialty and overcoming some fears and insecurities with the help of sassy (but secretly cares a lot) Jimin who’s a wizard cursed to be a dog (that looks like Chimmy!) It’s cute and pretty wholesome in my opinion :)

Also an honorable mention from them is the Service Series (it’s fluffier dw) and honestly their other fics are definitely worth a read :D

@7cypher

Oneshot: Devil’s Advocate (devil/demon!Jimin)

Ironic how despite being a devil Jimin is still the sweetest being to exist. Devil!Jimin walks into your life abruptly and worms his way into your heart with his devilishly good looks and sweet charms. It’s hella cute, a slightly angsty ‘defining’ moment that actually had me tearing up a bit??? (I’m a sap for sweet, tender affection like the ones that happened in here okay??) but it all ends well :)

@seokkbuns

I’ve read most of their Hoseok and Jimin stuff but I think all of their fics are worth a read!

@boymeetsweevil

Oneshot: Cover You In Constellations (Hoseok x reader fic)

I’ve read this a while ago but keep coming back to it because oh god this was cute, so domestic and so fluffy like this is the kinda shit I would pull if I had a boyfriend like Hoseok like skdjfskgha. I like the way writer portrays Hoseok because it feels so like what I imagine he would react. Hoseok deserves all the love ;_;

@kittentaegu

Series: My Boss, The Vampire (Vamp!Jimin x reader fic)

Two parts are out so far and I’m loving the premise! New office worker with notoriously hot CEO Park Jimin who has a secret to hide (guess what it is). One day, you find out what it is and so now what?? Things get steamy ;D Also, the title of it is so K-dramaesque and I don’t know! I like the charm it adds to it!

@readyplayerhobi **NEW

Honestly all of their fics are worth a read because they flawlessly combine story building with any kind of genre you can think of. Some are smutty, some of fluffy and some are just downright angsty but you just want to read them all regardless!

@yminie **NEW

Series: Nine-One-One (Detective!Jimin x First Responder! Reader) fluff, angst, romance, old flame au, future smut, and other mature themes!

This is thrilling! In both romantic and story aspects! The base story line is that there’s a serial murderer on the loose who’s been stalking reader and Jimin and his team are on the case about it. They’ve both got romantic history with each other and as old feelings resurfaces, so does the situation as things hit a little too close to home. Obviously with serial murderers involved, there is mentions of death, suicide and well...the warnings there!

A03 Fics

*will be pretty rare on this list; am I the only one who finds it super hard to find good fics on there?

Author: kimtrain

I swear they had a tumblr before since that’s the only reason why I remember them and their fics. Thankfully they’re all there still and all of them are 👌👌👌 Mermaid!Hoseok AU and the Hybrid!AU are my faves.

Fic: Warm Blood by ARMY_BRAT

The one instance where my weakness for supernatural AUs + wanting to read something paid off. MC is an ARMY but also a grim reaper so what happens when BTS shows up on her list, destined to die? Well, she says NOT TODAY but that just throws EVERYTHING out of the loop, leaving her to fix it.

Went into it with a grain of salt (ngl description was...ehh) BUT was pleasantly surprised! Digging the writing style which made MC really likeable so far and the AU strongly reminds me of Goblin: The Lonely God but focusing more on the grim reaper side of things which, personally, I was WAY more interested in even with the drama so yay! :D Glad someone took inspiration from it. Still ongoing and fairly new so dsfajdkas

Fic: Three Pints Full by Valkook **NEW

Woah it’s a vampire/supernatural fic! A little on the mature side because there’s well...blood...a little bit of death mentioned...and smut... BUT a really compelling story! Set mainly as a Cop/Detective! Reader who’s been assigned to solving some mysterious deaths/murders happening in the wild parts Montana joined in with appearances by Hunter/Tracker!Yoongi, Partner!Hoseok and Vampire!Jimin, Jungkook and more!

GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  MUN :

NAME : natalia. NICKNAME :   nat, the scot, crispy, potato. FACECLAIM :   merida from brave. PRONOUNS : she / her. HEIGHT :    5′ 1″. BIRTHDAY :   may 22nd.  AESTHETIC :   green hills / scottish castles / comfy hoodies / thistles / four leaf clovers. LAST  SONG  YOU  LISTENED  TO :  what about us - pink. FAVORITE  MUSE (S)  YOU’VE  WRITTEN :  this one or my oc phoenix.

GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  ACCOUNT :

WHAT  INSPIRED  YOU  TO  TAKE  ON  THIS  MUSE : it wasn’t really inspiration if i’m honest. i had the notion to delve into roleplaying when i first joined tumblr right as ‘the white queen’ was airing on tv here. i was contemplating it but never took the jump, until i started chatting with someone who was roleplaying from that fandom and they convinced me.

WHAT  ARE  YOUR  FAVOURITE  ASPECTS  OF  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE : she’s difficult, witty, full of banter, stubborn yet kind and humorous. i can see aspects of various people i know in her and it’s nice to live that out.

WHAT’S  YOUR  BIGGEST  INSPIRATION  WHEN  IT  COMES  TO  WRITING : it’s a mixture of different things - the muns give me such inspiration, especially when conversing ooc about our muses, that always gives me large doses of inspiration. and knowing that there’s so many other plots and things that i could do, it keeps me going.

FAVORITE  TYPES  OF  THREADS :  i love me some fluff ngl. but i also enjoy adventurey stuff - adding something a little different into the mix.

BIGGEST  STRUGGLE  IN  REGARDS  TO  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE :  to mirror luca’s answer here - speech. the speech back in the late 1400′s would ( i imagine ) be far different from what it is today, and it’s hard to grasp that and put it into words that will come across in rp.
