#thank you very much Kim

[victorluvsalice]

And the special deals didn’t even stop there -- as Alice went scavenging along the edges of the fairground (as digging up cool stuff with your bare hands is part of the fun of being a werewolf) and Smiler joined everybody outside for the dance party, Kim approached Victor, told him he was her Fairing Friend, and gave him a present! Which consisted of some milk and a couple of spicy mushrooms! :D I was very pleased. Though, sadly, Victor was unable to pass the favor on, as he didn’t know enough of the Henford-On-Bagley regulars to give them presents, and couldn’t really keep up a conversation with any of them at the dance party. Plus giving presents to the mayor, aka the judge of the competition, probably wouldn’t have gone well. Shame. Maybe I’ll go have him hide something at Sophie the Snail again. . .

Anyway -- around this time, Victor and Alice were starting to feel peckish, so I sent them inside to get some food from the bar. Alice got a meat pie, naturally, while Victor tried the mushroom soup, as it was a touch chilly at the fair. They had a good meal and a good chat -- Alice DID annoy Victor slightly by pestering him for juice-fizzing tips, but he quickly got over it, and they were back to flirting and exchanging compliments before too long. :) Once done with the meal, Alice went back to scavenging and dancing (maxing out the Dancing skill in the process, nice); Smiler headed over to the fishing spot nearby to see what they could catch (just the one goldfish, but that IS a plasma pack!); and Victor took up practicing magic in the middle of the festival while the mayor finished her judging (learning Decursify! Now that’s handy!). All good stuff -- but how did Victor actually do at the fair?

Harry sits messily on the floor like a delicate flower lay crushed and scattered on the ground, trampled by careless feet. Yet even in his brokenness, there is beauty to be found. Like petals, Harry’s lips and pale skin blend together in a mosaic of soft pinks and red, his glassy eyes blinking slowly as he starts to realize just now Louis is standing in front of him.

I was gonna keep this secret until it was finished but it sounded like maybe you're in need of some good things to start the year, so I hope this is a good thing. Your Look, Through This Lens is one of my all time favorite fics. Not even just for KimChay, it's really one of the best things I've ever read. It's so beautifully done, and absolutely devastating. Of course after reading it I had to go through your entire profile to find even more things to adore. But YLTSL will always have a special place in my heart. I love the way that it opens, with Chay, and the reader, already knowing how it's going to end.

I just wanted to share some love. I hope 2024 is kind to you <3

Oh my god, I am actually speechless right now AHDSJHSKJSF

I'm pulling out my hair I've collapsed onto the floor what are you DOING TO ME I AM GOING TO SHAKE YOU (so lovingly!!!)

fsdfhk fh okay well one, first, to begin, thank you for loving on YLTTL so much, to the point where you've drawn something. My whole body is shaking while looking at this. Chay's expression has me in tears. I know this "unfinished" as you've said but you've captured his melancholy so well here. The lowered camera is such a nice touch because he's so captivated by Kim and maybe even WIK. This is so beautiful. Even if you never finish it, this is so very special and beautiful and meaningful to me. You've brought this version of Chay to life. I am in awe.

Second, to hear YLTTL is one of your favorite fics has me weak; thank you for your kind words, especially since you're an incredible writer yourself. YLTTL was a story that made me take a lot of risks but to know that you still read through it all, enjoyed it, and hold it close, is everything to me.

Excuse me while I shout this in every corner I am in. Thank you is not enough.

The whole kibum mcd brand deal situation is really fucking upsetting because as much as I could understand (=/= excuse!) the colourism thing as a person from another homogenous country, this time i can't even wrap my head around it. No brand deal is inescapable, especially if you're a fucking millionaire. And the cheek of him to show his middle finger during the concert. The Lucas shout out ("sitting with my family"). The way he suddenly started parading Kany around coincidentally right after the colourism scandal and apparently also mentioned Fatou in the show tonight... like I hope they genuinely are friends but honestly I don't know anything anymore.

I miss Jjong. He was the best and most empathetic of them and that's why he had to suffer. I really fucking miss how wise he was for his age and his comforting words and how he seemed to really care about other people and what's happening in the world. He talked about Palestine 10 years ago and the rest of them are refusing to say anything even today. But that's okay. Entertainers are here to entertain, not to share their political views. But there is a fucking line and supporting a company that's openly funding a genocide without addressing it is something everyone should agree crosses it.

I've been a huge shawol since I was 12 years old. That's half of my life. That's pretty much all of my life that I can remember well. I've had my ups and downs but this is a new fucking low. I don't even want to look at Kibum's face right now.

been thinking a lot about how that scene from 609 really broke my heart. like, i was 99% sure it was happening, and yet it hit harder and deeper than i could have ever predicted. and i think i realized that, apart from all the trauma it triggered for me, it's all about loss and grief.

it's not the fact that they break up: it's the fact that kim and jimmy symbolically die in that same moment.

kim as we know her could only exist because she had found someone who loved her, accepted her fully, took care of her: it's hard to imagine kim giggling, and making silly jokes, and sharing beers and cigarettes, and pranking someone, and being her true self, without jimmy, especially since she blames herself for going on with the scam. we know what happens to jimmy once she leaves, especially since he blames himself because he believes he ruined her, he wasn't enough, he was rotten to the core and brought her down with him. they were so pure together and yet so cruel with that world around them they thought would always underestimate them. but in their love... there was support, understanding, joy, fun, silliness, sweetness. and in this special place they showed us everything about them, beauties and flaws, and it was hard not to get attached to them and their tangible humanity.

what i was feeling when they said they loved each other, but it wasn't enough, wasn't just sadness, desperation, frustration, injustice.

i was mourning.

for kim and jimmy died with howard in that apartment.

How is the band going?

It's going, I guess. We could stand to suck a little less, but we could also suck a whole lot more.

I'm hearing we actually have fans, here. Like, besides Neil and Knives. So we're doing something right at least, I guess.
