#tpahr feedback

[vanaera]

Hey Aera, how are u? Hope you are doing good I just found the prince and his rose today and already fall in love with your works, they are pure ART girl, omg. The way oc and guk grow up together, supporting each other’s and the way guk is so whipped for her, I don’t know that’s the type of romance I want for my life 🥺🥺🥺👉🏻👈🏻 anyways, hope you always find inspiration to keep writing and bringing happiness to people through your works, thank you so much for that 💜💜

A-Art??? OH MY (ಥ﹏ಥ) thank you. This compliment is on a different level and thank you for letting me experience this. I'll forever remember this hon 🥺🥺🥺

The Prince and His Rose really be changing the ways of romance now huh 😭😭 I first wrote this fic for fun and fluff. But as I add every installment, I found out my views and preferences about love are seeping in, even unconsciously. The reason I have a special spot for f2l tropes is bc I believe your SO have to be your bestfriend. It's the only way you can gain a fulfilling relationship without feeling always getting the short end of the stick. And as I look at TPAHR in its bigger picture, I realize TPAHR!Jungkook is always gonna be a bestfriend to OC first before he acts on his desires to be her potential lover. He may be flawed but he's trying his best and that is something I totally dig 😭😭🥺

Thank you so much hon for this wonderful feedback. Feedbacks like this are what keeps me inspired and motivated to continue writing so thank YOU!!! 😭🥺🥰💓💕

I thought I already have high standards for potential SOs bc of our boys and other fictional dudes. I can't believe I just set my bar higher by writing my own character. Curse you TPAHR!JK!!!! Jk I love you. TPAHR!OC, if you don't accept our best boy, I'll steal him away from you

I hope I'm not late but @vanaera's The Prince and His Rose drabble series for this week!!!! THIS SERIES SAVED MY LIFE I swear I live for every update of the author! JK is so cute here as well as the oc and it's so endearing how they express love for each other. Their interaction may come off as too ideal but Aera still manahes to incorporate realism in every chap. TPAHR IS SO SOFT and THE HUMOR IN THIS IS 👌 Like the "Jeon Effect" is the best reunning gag I have ever encountered in my life.

Thank you for your fic rec!  This series unfortunately does not fit this week's category, but @vanaera, clearly your work is loved!!!

@xakemi-chiix replied to your post The Prince and His Rose Masterlist

Hi! So I finally decided to read through my to-read list and your story the prince and his rose was the first and I love this whole concept. This is so soft and cute and kookie is such a sweet friend! Gosh my heart is melting when I read through this whole drabbles. I really loved that both of them are each support pillars. That they help each other when they are about to give up and how well they know each other(their teenage years made me cry damnit, with Jungkook's dad and everything.)

I also love their little arguments and how awkward kookie is to compliment oc and how frustrated Jimin/Taehyung are lol Also this little misunderstanding of Jungkook thinking how oc was going to submit an application for the female leading role and jungkookie applying lmao I love this drabble ahaha Also bc of how throughout the performance how he looked into the audience, in other words looking at oc, which was just so cute gosh

Also I really love the way how she got the red scarf you already mentioned and how cute it was how disappointed he was that oc couldn't be there and celebrate his birthday and ahh this whole series is really cute and I would def read it a hundred times again.☺️

Oh my god, this feedback got me happy-crying!!! TT u TT  God, I’m so happy you saw the essence in OC and Jungkook’s relationship. Writing the fluffy and awkward moments between these two is so fun! But what made me truly happy in writing TPAHR is how I tried to humanize these two characters. Writing about their fears, pains, mistakes, and how they try to deal with them while supporting each other made me go through a journey of my own along with these characters. And I am so happy you saw these too! One of my greatest joys is to have my readers get the thesis of my stories. That’s why I feel so blessed I managed to have readers like you get interested in my stories!

The story-telling I did for the red scarf is one of my favorite things I’ve ever done in writing! When I first started this series, I decided I don’t want to write OC and Jungkook’s story in a conventional linear structure. I want to tell this “cliche” story of friends falling in love with each other in a different way that could give a fresh twist to this established trope. Hence, the jumping from past to present, present to past, in the story was born. I guess this is TPAHR’s charm because I managed to get my readers curious enough to follow this story and know more about OC and Jungkook and their past. So I’m beyond ecstatic you loved what I did for this series!

I, too, have read stories I like re-reading again and again and never get tired of doing it. They have touched my life in so many ways/ I feel so lucky I got to read/watch them bc idk what would I be now If I didn’t encounter them. Thus, I think to be write a work that could astound people that they will not get enough of going back to it is a great feat for any artist. So to have you say you’ll read The Prince and His Rose a hundred times again,  I feel like I’m standing on the other end this time, overwhelmed with love and happiness. Thank you for letting me have this experience that once was a dream a thousand light-years away from me 😊😊😊

[vanaera]

For the one fic ask game, can I ask more than one? Bc's I can relate (some of them) to The Prince and His Rose, You will Feel a Flash of Red, and Say Goodnight and Go. P.S. hey I'm your new 'silent reader' since 2 weeks ago, and finding your account feels like I've found a precious treasure/time capsule box! Gonna spend my quarantine reading all of your wonderful works and I hope life treats you well! -🍑

Of course you can ask more than one, hon! I'm always curious of what my readers want to know about my writings! I'm glad you can relate to those 3 stories of mine as they are slice-of-life stories that are heavily inspired by happenings in my life! (Let's all relate to the 24/7 stressed and broke college student a.k.a. me lmao 😆).

So here I go.

For The Prince and His Rose, there's actually a couple of scenes that inspired me to build a story around it, considering it's a series. But what really inspired me to write it in general was my dream of writing about "old-fashioned courting." I live in a conservative Asian home and bc of that, I place great value on that old-fashioned courtship (love letters, serenades, etc.), which is now somehow non-existent in by various mainstream media. So every installment in TPAHR is centered on that old-fashioned courting and pining. I can go on and on about this bc every installment has a specific scene that inspired me to write it so feel free to ask more if you have a certain installment you're curious about!

For You Will Feel A Flash of Red, the scene that made me want to write it is the final one where Seokjin scares the living daylights out of OC by following behind her in the dark street. This is inspired by my best girl @sophrosinn and the spooky story she told us about her college in one of our dates. And since YWFAFR is my birthday gift for her, and she loves Seokjin, why not make the story totally inspired by her?

Lastly in, Just Say Goodnight and Go, what made me want to write that story was the scene where Seokjin is spouting so many cringey pick-up lines to OC! And the way he "strategically" got inside her room! I've been wanting to write a story about a couple where one of them can be seriously frustrating while at the same time, so charming. That "I want to catapult you to the moon if I didn't love you" vibe. That got me cracking up and also blushing bc it IS cute as it is hilarious and isn't that the best combination ever?

P.S. I'm glad you found my account! And my, you even compared it to a treasure box/time capsule 🥺🥺🥺. It's an honor to have my writings considered so precious like that! Thank you so much for dropping by and taking your time to send in love. Your support means the world to me! Hope you enjoy your time reading my stories ☺️☺️☺️

🌻Send me one of my fic titles and I'll tell you which was THAT scene for that fic

[vanaera]

Hi Aeraaa, first of all i'm sorry i don't know how to giving you compliments than 'u are the greatest author i've ever follow in my sns' (sorry for my lack in english). And your writings really help me gaining my english and adding more vocabulary in my notes. I don't know what i'm saying right now but i want you to know i always support u and always loving all of your works, especially TPAHR 💛💛💛 Please stay healthy, and if you need to rest, please take it! I love youu 💜💜💜 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

OH MY HON YOU'RE SO SWEET! Thank you so much! And wow... I didn't imagine I'm actually that great huhuhu whenever I see my works, I still find a lot of flaws in them but if you see me as one then I'm not gonna stop you hehehehe. And it's okay, don't apologize for your English! I'm not a native English speaker too so I also make mistakes! I'm glad I'm able to help you with the vocabulary part ☺️☺️☺️ Thank you so much for the love! TPAHR just started in a whim after I posted For A While, like I never really had much plans for it before, but now omg everyone's gotten hooked to it so I' m like 😳😳😳 My health is okay these days and I'm taking lots of rest! I was finally able to dorm so whoo no more 6-hr daily commute!!!

@kkul-lemon THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FEEDING ME LOVE. I hope you also take good care of yourself and may you have a nice day! SENDING ALL MY LOVE TO YOU IN INDONESIA, I LOVE YOU!!!!!

[vanaera]

I'm CRYING bc I was like 'why she didn't explain any of it', but thank you for explaining it! :''))) Currently being immersed by TPAHR's Dandelions on Stage + Melodies on a Distance. Did you perhaps take part in the theater or literature course? And for the care package idea, now I'm blaming you for making me mulling over how can I get one of those from someone like JK >:( P.S. to start my adventure in your blog, is there any advice/rec to begin with? -🍑

OMYGOSH SORRY I MADE YOU CRY 😭😭😭 I was actually waiting for you to send an ask on what fics u wanna know about bc u said if u can ask for more than 1 fic. And then after doing some chores I realized...YOU ALREADY SENT THE FIC. Sorry I'm slow! 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️ My brain is failing me these days asdfghjkl

OMYGOD you're already reading Dandellions on Stage and Melodies on a Distance!!!! Those 2 fics made my heart CLENCH. Writing the first one made me fell out of my chair laughing for so many times. And the 2nd one made me soft bc I wrote it when I was suffering one of my longest writer's blocks and at that time I just want someone to give me a care package, too 🥺. So you're not alone in that, hon! Tbh everyone wants some TPAHR!Jungkook in their lives asdfghjkl.

On a serious note, i think anyone can eventually get someone as caring as TPAHR!jk in real life as long as they find the right person. Like, to have someone care for you so deeply is an obvious package you should have in a healthy relationship. You should feel that way in a healthy relationship. After all, you get in a relationship bc you love a person. Therefore you should care for them and make sure to show that you do. Although they may care in different ways. TPAHR!Jungkook's love language happened to be acts of service and quality time so that's why the care packages ☺️

And no, I didn't take part in theater or literature! Although my original plan was to study literature in college, I ended up not going for it bc I need a course that could help me have a safe, practical job that could feed me. Yep, that's life :'). Anyway, I study literature in my free time bc I cannot give up my love for it 😊 I also happened to have some knowledge how school-based theater plays go bc we had numerous plays to hold as class projects back in high school.

And uwu, adventure in my blog!!! I think you already started it well by starting on The Prince and His Rose as that's the series that practically helped me grew. If you want to get a feel of how I usually make my stories to be, I suggest you check out my oneshots like Translucent Fireworks, and Daffodil Rings. If you feel like reading stories that are more like proses, you could check my fics in the Things You Said masterlist and Songs to Read Playlist.

But my proudest writings so far are my series The Heart Holiday and My Time, though they're still ongoing. I'm trying to make a stable schedule for their updates tho ☺️

(Sorry this is kinda unhelpful. Whenever I read, I just go with what I feel like reading so I based it all in the feel).

Sorry this is so long, I tend to ramble a lot! Thank you for sending love, you made me smile so wide 🥺😆🥰. Happy reading, my peachy anon!

OMYGOD, FUCKING FINALLY MY FAVORITE TROPE/AU!!! For slowburn week, I recc The Prince and His Rose by @vanaera!!! This fic is such a sweet good ol' ride to romance. First off, as an sfw reader, finding TPAHR in this shithole site is a blessing! I somehow feel outcasted when I wanna read about bts bc almost every single fic out there is nsfw and so, reaching Aera's masterlist is like an oasis! Now for the review, TPAHR is the ultimate slowburn fic! Subtle fluff is my cup of tea bc i like [1-?]

The subtle fluff in TPAHR always gets to me bc I LOVE small acts of love. This is so as the world always glamorizes big acts of love like public proposals, surprise getaways, etc. when there are so many acts of love out there that are just over-seen. Aera manages to do this so good like the scene were JK sprained his foot just to get OC's papers that were blown by the wind, afraid to get them wet just shoot thru my heart. I loved how the characters love transitioned from friends to lovers [2-3]

slowly but surely bc I think that's how f2l usually works. The characters have to realize that their feelings has changed first and this transition in oh my god im in love with you to fuck im really in love with you is one of the most satisfying character devts. to read. And reading this moreso from Jk's perspective is a great PLUS (since most slowburn fics I've read are usually from a fem perspective). I just always feel like in another world when I read tpahr and i love it so much for it [3-3]

This is great feedback!  I’m sure Vanaera will be very happy to receive such a detailed recommendation!  Thank you for your fic rec!  We’ll add it to our masterlist.

AHHHH I am in love with the new prince and his rose update!! I love how we are learning more and more about kook and the reader's backstory slowly, and not all at once. ALSO I'm ITCHING to finally see kook confess!! Your writing is amazing and makes me so happy. 💜💜

Hi sweets! Thank you so much for your sugar-sweet feedback! I practically needed this bc I've stopped writing for weeks bc of a shitty burnout and idk if I still have the skills to make my readers feel something bc no one's talking to me 😭😭😭 (I know the Mikrokosmos installment is getting a few loves here and there and some of my readers are silent ones but a feedback can be helpful too, u kno? So I can improve the things u see I'm lacking in, and also to make friends here! I really want to get to know you guys more!)

Anyway! Thank you for noticing these bits and pieces! I always liked dropping hints and foreshadowing in tiny pinches here and there and if you've long observed my writings, my fics are littered with this! Lowkey a hobby of mine, too, bc I've been into art since a kid and I draw things and animals that communicate double meanings. I even use colors to communicate! Yeah guys, I know a wide array of color meanings and also, I can communicate with flowers! I studied flower meanings for like two years in HS (not as a subject, just pure interest) and I swear I'm like your local con-florist who can tell you appropriate flowers for certain events without any experience of being a florist at all! (If you pay attention to the flowers I write here in there in my fics, they already convey the things I'm about to say in the next sentences hehehe, okay for example: the daffodils in Translucent Fireworks means loyalty; specifically 'You're the only one').

Hehehe I know I'm blabbering too much so anyway, YES I'M ALSO ITCHING FOR JK'S CONFESSION! SERIOUSLY I ALREADY HAD THE WHOLE STORYBOARD FOR THAT READY ALREADY, HOWEVER (yeah all caps), I still have to write about essential events that have transpired since they were kids bc they really add dynamic to my characters. OC is not just a passionate aspiring writer who is naive to JK's advances, you know? There's more to that and her seeming obliviousness. Also, I love how I'll write about JK slowly balancing the differences in their gravitational attraction to each other in the installments I have planned. I've always missed the old, traditional courting (based on my homecountry's history and tradition, and yeah, I still use this term; 18th century, anyone?) when today's modern society is too fast-paced and nearly gave any more fuck about the pure concept of love- love for love; nothing more, nothing less. I just want to make some of my fantasies be a reality I can put down in ink. I'm blabbing too much again so yeah, more stories and feels are gonna drop in the future installments, so stay tuned!

(Quick reminder too! Even if I released the confession part, TPAHR will not end! 😘😘😘)

*Oh and here's also some art of mine, thought I'd share since I already opened up about it:

*You can find them in my art account in ig with the same username @vanaera with some impromptu poems I make before I hit post.

Hiiii Aera !!!!!!! My favourite as you is already know tpahr and my favourite part is the one where kook hurts his ankle trying to save a paper. I also love translucent fireworks and ceo yoongi! !!!!!! I LITERALLY LOVE EVERYTHING YOU WRITE! !!!!!!!

Oh MY GOD CARA!!!! OMG Hon, thank you so much!!!! This is such a gigantic compliment for me - I - Omygod. I know TPAHR has made its way in a soft place in your hearts (bc so far, it's my writing that got the most sweet feedbacks from you hons) and obviously there's been tons of parts I've already uploaded but omg Cara, you still remember the very first installment!!!! Writing that part where Jungkook hurt his ankle trying to "save" OC's writeups from getting wet on the ground hit me so hard while writing it bc to have someone value your work that much is really something (also, "saving" in the context I made there scremed a very "princely" way to me which already foreshadowed him being OC's The Little Prince)

Also, I can't believe Translucent Firework can be someone's favorite! In this BTS fanfic-dom where "you/ y/n" are the commom POVs used, using a named OC is less likely to get feedback or anything bc it's not the usual thing to do in this site (unlike in AO3 or asianfanfics.com). I can't believe TF will be your favorite omg. I'm so shooked. The laundromat!AU that started as a joke that turned to something I wrote for 3 months can run this long way to be someone's favorite??? OMYGOD

I love you so much, hon! Thank you so much for appreciating my works!!!
