Dear Dia, you asked for it, so here it goes: I think that you're a super sweet person, always willing to talk with everyone and answer the comments of the people. I always found it easy sending you messages about your stories or whatever I thought at the moment because of your closeness even though for me you're in the top 2 of BTS fanfic writers here, and sometimes is not easy talking to people you admire, and I don't feel that with you. So keep being the softest and sweetest person on Tumblr ♥

Aw thank you so much, love. I do enjoy talking to people here, whether you guys are talking about fics, our lovely boys, cats, or just anything in general. I kind of miss talking more but it is what it is.

I really appreciate you for always coming to say hi!!!

talk to me: anonymously (or not) tell me what you think of me

Forgive me for the sudden dip into the abyss.

I've been dealing with some stuff (including self-loathing...but let's not get into it) and I decided to take a short break from the internet (mostly Tumblr).

But I'm still writing, and I've been doing some stuff offline that I'm particularly excited to share. You might see me active sporadically on Discord or X, and through my scheduled weekly updates on Wattpad, but that's about it.

I'm back (kind of) just to celebrate Yoongi's coming home and to say hi to all of you who are still here and whoever still noticing me. I was contemplating about posting an official break/hiatus post, but seeing that I am still working on a couple of things, It might seem ridiculous to post an announcement for my absence only to update a fic merely days later (this has happened before, so I'd rather not embarrass myself by doing a repeat).

So I decided to do something better, which is to give you a little sneak peek of what I've been doing while I'm away to show you that I'm not really gone (and to show you that I'm still alive lol):

Rewriting: Carousel (feat. Yoongi) This is currently my main focus, with updates coming on Saturday and Sunday on Wattpad. I'm on (what was previously) chapter 4, and I'm planning to start posting the new version on Tumblr once I've reached somewhere around (what was previously) chapter 5. Why am I putting this as top priority, you ask? Because I'm also working on releasing this story as an original novel, and I'm planning to post Hobi's spin-off once I'm done with this piece. Please be patient with me...

Crash Into Me (feat. Bambam) The second instalment of my GOT7 series that I was planning to post early this month. I've been in a slump lately so the process has been going a bit slow, and I keep switching between working on this one, Carousel, and a couple of other WIPs. I was supposed to be done with the fic this week, but good ol' me keep adding more scenes to add more drama, so here we are now...about 75%? done? I think?

Hot Mess (feat. Taehyung) A fic commission that I've been working on for a while now. It's been touch and go with this one because I had to change a ton of things from what was previously planned because I realised at one point that I was writing this Taehyung too similarly to another character that I wrote in a different fic, and I didn't like that. This was also planned to be posted this month, but things kept getting in the way for me to finish it. I'm almost done with this one, but Bambam's story might come out earlier depending on the editing process.

Patreon Exclusive: Street Spirit (feat. Yoongi) This was a WIP that I discarded years ago (was it 2017? 2018?). I wasn't planning on releasing it as a full fic, just like how I've been sharing my other discarded WIPs on my WIP Graveyard, where I simply posted the rough drafts or rough outlines and story premises that I had before I decided to discontinue them, but the story meant a lot to me that I might be posting this one as a series. I'll keep you updated once I'm done polishing this story and will put an excerpt of it here on Tumblr to let you see what to expect.

Patreon Exclusive: Ghosttown (feat. BTS OT7) This was also an old series that I discontinued a long time ago. Just like Street Spirit, I was planning to add this on my WIP Graveyard, but changed my mind after noticing that I've gotten a lot done on my old google drive. I'm currently working on polishing the story outlines, and will start posting the chapters once I'm done.

Patreon Exclusive: Writing Class In case you don't know, I have a writing class going on on my Patreon page. So far I have a couple of classes posted, each one with detailed theories and steps and downloadable booklets for you to read and use as writing practice. I've been working on a couple of more classes between writing, but sometimes the researching process can take some extra effort which takes away my time from writing. I hope I can balance the process starting next week.

That's all for now. I'll be sharing more updates soon, but this is what I'm currently focusing on and what I'm going to come back with soon. If you're curious to see my day to day writing progress and I'm currently working on, you can subscribe to my Patreon and gain access to my monthly Writing Journal. (ps: I also have freebies for all members and monthly gifts for exclusive members, so you won't regret hitting that subscribe button!)

Severance Hospital and SUGA are establishing a specialized treatment center to support the treatment and social independence of patients with autism

On the 23rd, Severance Hospital held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 'Min Yoon-ki Treatment Center' for the treatment of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder on the first floor of Jejungwan. This center will support the mental health of children and adolescents through language, psychological, and behavioral therapies, and will operate various programs that link clinical and research. Even while promoting with BTS, Suga has consistently engaged in charity work and has shown a continued interest in mental health, psychological and behavioral issues, and especially depression in adolescents. He has sought ways to help through his talent and ability in music.

Last November, Suga had the opportunity to communicate with Professor Chun Geun-ah of the Department of Pediatrics at Severance Hospital, an authority in the field of pediatric psychiatry. Through several meetings since then, he learned that patients with autism spectrum disorder require customized treatment that fits their life cycle, but that this is difficult to achieve with existing short-term therapeutic interventions. He also agreed that in order to bring about positive changes in the symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, it is necessary to establish a specialized treatment center that can provide mid- to long-term treatment for more than 10 years, and so announced his intention to donate 5 billion won to Severance Hospital. This is the largest donation ever made by an artist, not only to Severance Children's Hospital but also to the entire Yonsei Medical Center.

Since then, Professor Chun and Suga have discussed the establishment of a treatment center and social skills training using music for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder from the end of last year to the beginning of this year. Based on this, they developed the 'MIND' program, a social skills group program that combines musical content with existing social skills training programs. The MIND program is an acronym that contains the meaning of 'enhancing interaction and sensory experiences through music (Music), encountering opportunities to form social relationships and communicate (Interaction), learning the process of naturally forming relationships through a community (Network), and learning about a society that respects individual diversity and gets along together (Diversity).' Children who participate in this program play instruments, sing songs, write to music, and express their emotions and thoughts through music and writing. From March to June of this year, Suga spent weekends meeting with children with autism spectrum disorder and participated in the development of the program. He played instruments such as the guitar himself, guiding the children to match rhythm and harmony, interact with music, and expand their emotional expression. He even went so far as to teach the children to play instruments themselves. This program has been shown to be effective in helping children with autism spectrum disorder with limited language ability form social relationships. In the future, the Min Yoongi Treatment Center plans to further develop the MIND program and establish a self-sufficient music project model.

Hey quick PSA! If you ever read a fic and decide you don't like it. That is an Inside Thought. Click off it and keep that shit to yourself

[yoonia]

Ooohhh thank you @sumzysworld this is a nice reference!!!

Okay, another little lesson for fic writers since I see it come up sometimes in fics: wine in restaurants.

When you buy a bottle of wine in a (nicer) restaurant, generally (please note my emphasis there, this is a generalization for most restaurants, but not all restaurants, especially non-US ones) you may see a waiter do a few things when they bring you the bottle.

The waiter presents the bottle to the person who ordered it

The waiter uncorks the bottle in order to serve it

The waiter hands the cork to the person who ordered the bottle

The waiter pours a small portion of the wine (barely a splash) and waits for the person who ordered it to taste it

The waiter then pours glasses for everyone else at the table, and then returns to fill up the initial taster's glass

Now, you might be thinking -- that's all pretty obvious, right? They're bringing you what you ordered, making sure you liked it, and then pouring it for the group. Wrong. It's actually a little bit more complicated than that.

The waiter presents the bottle to the person who ordered it so that they can inspect the label and vintage and make sure it's the bottle they actually ordered off the menu

The waiter uncorks the bottle so that the table can see it was unopened before this moment (i.e., not another wine they poured into an empty bottle) and well-sealed

The waiter hands the cork to the person who ordered the bottle so that they can inspect the label on the cork and determine if it matches up; they can also smell/feel the cork to see if there is any dergradation or mold that might impact the wine itself

The waiter pours a small portion for the person who ordered to taste NOT to see if they liked it -- that's a common misconception. Yes, sometimes when house wine is served by the glass, waiters will pour a portion for people to taste and agree to. But when you order a bottle, the taste isn't for approval -- you've already bought the bottle at this point! You don't get to refuse it if you don't like it. Rather, the tasting is to determine if the wine is "corked", a term that refers to when a wine is contaminated by TCA, a chemical compound that causes a specific taste/flavor. TCA can be caused by mold in corks, and is one of the only reasons you can (generally) refuse a bottle of wine you have already purchased. Most people can taste or smell TCA if they are trained for it; other people might drink the wine for a few minutes before noticing a damp, basement-like smell on the aftertaste. Once you've tasted it, you'll remember it. That first sip is your opportunity to take one for the table and save them from a possibly corked bottle of wine, which is absolutely no fun.

If you've sipped the wine (I generally smell it, I've found it's easier to smell than taste) and determined that it is safe, you then nod to your waiter. The waiter will then pour glasses for everyone else at the table. If the wine is corked, you would refuse the bottle and ask the waiter for a new bottle. If there is no new bottle, you'll either get a refund or they'll ask you to choose another option on their wine list. A good restaurant will understand that corked bottles happen randomly, and will leap at the opportunity to replace it; a bad restaurant or a restaurant with poor training will sometimes try to argue with you about whether or not it's corked. Again, it can be a subtle, subjective taste, so proceed carefully.

In restaurants, this process can happen very quickly! It's elegant and practiced. The waiter will generally uncork the bottle without setting the bottle down or bracing it against themselves. They will remove the cork without breaking it, and they will pour the wine without dripping it down the label or on the table.
