[winterballads]

I was tagged by @straysinfiltrator in a First Line Meme, thanks so much! ✨💜

List the first lines of your last 20 stories. See if there are any patterns and choose your favorite opening line!

Pretty sure I already did this game a while ago for some of my Thronebreaker stories, so now I’m gonna go with the series I’ve started which is set in Arthdal Chronicles and focuses on a poly relationship 💕 Those stories are very close to my heart - it’s brought me immense joy to work on developing the characters (both ocs and existing characters from several different fandoms) and the lore and world-building surrounding the stories 🥺💖  

“I am Saya, Minister of bang of Royal Administration in Arthdal and assistant to King Tagon, and I demand an audience with the Busuku Tribe Chief.” —Our Reflections (Saya’s pov)

 “Autumn leaves crunched beneath the sole of Ytla’s boots as he walked in the direction of the sun peeking through the trees in the west, steps confident and gaze unwavering.” —Setting Suns, Rising Suns (Ytla’s pov)

“The corridor stretched like the entrails of a formidable beast before him.” —Ombaba (Xinyi, Ytla and Saya’s povs)

Not a big pool to choose from haha, but I think I like the first and third opening lines best 🤔 The first bc the story starts right in the middle of the action and the line of dialogue gives a strong first impression of Saya’s character; the third bc it sets the tone for the first part of the story which is quite mysterious and ominous ✨ It’s hard to see any pattern for these three opening lines, apart from the fact that I usually try to start with something intriguing and/or relevant to the story’s plot/characters/themes 🌸

—my summer playlist

This is going to sound terribly boring, but I never make any playlists for myself 🥲 All that comes to mind when I think of summer music right now is NCT Dream’s most recent repackage album Beatbox, especially its title song ☀️🦋

—ten songs

rules: list 10 songs you really like, each by a different artist, and then tag 10 people to do the same

As some of you may know, I almost only listen to the same stuff over and over again these days, so I’m afraid I can’t come up with ten different artists to include here 😂 I’ll try to go with songs I haven’t mentioned in any game before  👀

NCT Dream - To My First

NCT 127 - Focus

NCT U - Dancing in the Rain

WayV - Love Talk / 秘语

ONEUS - Twilight

Stray Kids - Side Effects

—you have to marry the last fictional character in your camera roll

The photo in question is an Arthdal Chronicles promo shot including Tagon, Taealha, Tanya and Eunseom - out of all of them, I’d definitely want to marry Tanya the most 😝💕
