comments: FINALLY STARTED THIS! pinned down an idea days before the first check in and just tried to get into it. this ship is new to me and i hope i can do them justice for my giftee :> i'm trying not to stress out too much but yes i am still worried. the nice thing is that i'm repurposing seeds of a couple ideas from years ago so i have a rough outline, a theme song, and a title already. only time will tell if i end up throwing away this "structure" i intended to use as support hhhhhhhh (part of me is just not fully sold on whatever this is...but 500 words isn't much so maybe i'll get into it by next month)

comments: this shit is so cute i'm actually having more and more fun with it. it's not the most in-depth and engaging little thing but i'm slowly rounding it out more and adding details (thank you deadline postponement). it's starting to flow more and feel more [ship name] as i go along <3 i just hope other [ship name] enthusiasts agree bc their dynamic is famously special and according to some ppl pretty specific. not that i need validation, i'll write what i write, but i still have that in the back of my mind i guess!

sunwoo fest
wc: [secret]
comments: i got stuck again but i have more ideas for the next part so i'm gonna try to get those going and see what happens. even though this is hasn't been the easiest, i still genuinely enjoy it and i'm excited myself to see where it takes me. feeling happy that i got the prompt i got.

ideas


  • wonbin sex worker au: shotaro doesn;t understand how the park wonbin he knows can possibly be the same one who is active on OnlyFans (aka the project where milo, ez, and i all write roughly the same idea but with different ships & etc.)

  • seungso “what do they get up to” silliness: everyone has their own theory about why seunghan and sohee have been really tired and lacking sleep ever since they became roommates
      - Throuple sungwontaro who made bets on when they’re gonna kiss (publicly) (bc some ppl believe they’re kissing behind closed doors)

      - chanyoung is wary of this but gives in to peer pressure, also eunseok [member subject to change] begs him to investigate for him LMAO

  • sungbin in which pretty park wonbin is sungchan’s princess and maybe his dollie too…(either just in a surface level way with petnames and stuff or maybe a bit of actual dollification thrown in - will do some research perhaps)

  • jacob as eve being tempted to the fruit by the devil/serpent (hyunjae) in the garden of eden [insp. jelly tweet] (i'm starting to soften on milcob a BIT)

October Writing Log



have a soobin pic because i'm moa. long reflection and musings on my ficmix ahead!

events


  • moonlight fest: this is an end of the year event where everyone gifts fic or fanart to someone else, this'll be my 2nd year participating!! a few days ago i got my assignment so i should probably start brainstorming soon


  • scarygirlnight aka girlshalloween: i managed to write something YAYYY however it was only one fill. again. but that's okay because it was long for a "drabble" and i had a good time with it (more on this next month since i posted it on ao3 as well just after the event closed)
    1. this fill gagged me and i don't even yves/haseul...


  • sunwoo fest: SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! luckily mod milo's schedule is drawn out so they'll close on nov 13th. before i remembered that i was about to lose my shit but i'm normal now


  • eric fest: again i had no time to really get into this again but before the check in,, i'll try to work on it for a couple days

Rippled Surface, Dappled Light
fandom: cravity
relationship: minhee/hyeongjun (minisong, puppyz, 02z)
word count: 4k
remix of: a shadow of inspiration by flwryshj

oh god where do i begin with this. so i did not expect to be matched with a vity ficdom author AT ALL considering how few seemed to be signing up (i'm very nosy) and how few there are in general?? so yes i was taken aback. then i saw that i had read and enjoyed of their fics before and was like whoa. but the craziest part was how i realized this author is a friend of an acquaintance who also writes vity that i met back when i did a tbz secret santa (aka where cherry pie days came from, thank you kat). anyway, small world huh. i'm definitely feeling more entangled in kpop fandom than i did a few years ago. so far that hasn't been a bad thing [sweats]...

while choosing which work to remix, i did have some trouble, i went back and forth for a bit. i'll be honest, i didn't have issues narrowing down the list because a lot are not things i was willing to read,, but of the ones i liked, there's a good variety. my top pick was bake you feel my love because i'd read it before, it's sooo cute and light-hearted and i'm a secret 00z fan...plus the side puppyz!! but in the end shadow of inspiration won even though i could barely bring myself to reread it due to how much i cried on my first read.

i was fairly sure i wanted to do a sequel, but for a moment i entertained the thought of a truman show au! the vibes of identity crisis/cognitive dissonance/dissatisfaction would've worked, i think? but alas, it seemed like too much work and a straightforward sequel would actually let me feel justified in reading some of the interactions in ASOI as carefully restrained due to insane romantic tension that goes unacknowledged at least on a surface level. anyways. working on my sequel was tough, i knew roughly what i wanted to do but struggled a lot with how to present the ideas i had and feelings of the characters in my own way while also still having the style seem slightly in line with how flwryshj wrote them. also it was exhausting bc i was unwell in the head and being in fictional minhee's head was ummm...well i don't recommend writing rpf instead of going to therapy!

- mostly listened to out of touch by beauty queen while writing (it is now my most listened to song of 2023)
- took some inspiration from a short story for the water metaphors/imagery & inspiration from some prose (i think...unless it was poetry...anyway!) for a line or two in I
- compiled an absurdly long list of potential titles, including but not limited to the following
- The Swimmer, Who Thinks Himself a Professional, Enters the Water For the First Time
- Treading Water All the While **yes i realize how fucking long and insane this is...can you imagine if i hadn't come up with anything else**
- A Small Country of Hope
- Bend Towards the Light
- River Ceiling, Dappled Light
- there are 9 parts (including the interlude) because cravity is a 9 member group under starship enterta-

overall, considering this was the first time i chose to write a complete sequel for a remix, i'm fairly satisfied with it, and the author said they enjoyed it :3 the biggest thing i'd change is expanding on the "getting together" section (V CONT.), i was literally running out of time and running on fumes so it was rushed and if i was able to think i would've made it more detailed and rounded out, esp towards the end,, also at some point i wanted to tie in the whole biting as intimacy thing maybe but i totally forgot??? however i like how the shopping scene in INTERLUDE turned out, i think that's my fav part right now. the bit in III that ties into the title is also special in my eyes.



Warm Water, Swimming Down
fandom: riize
relationship: sungchan/shotaro (sungtaro)

honestly not much to say about this (bc i've said so much in writing logs while working on it lol) other than THANK GOD. 2 years and a bunch of changes later and it's out!! honestly i'm pretty happy with it other than the ending nfjkdnfdjkfjhd i rushed it and you can tell...it ends with dialogue and it's just. yeah. oh well, at least the post-orgasm scene turned out okay i think. also hey i finally fulfilled my goal of using a jacuzzi/hot tub in a fic!

September Writing Log



the events are going pretty well so far and i narrowly avoided the temptation to sign up for yuletide (maybe next year)

events


  • ficmix:
      what i remixed: oh man i'll elaborate on this later after reveals but i totally ran out of time and was panic-writing lmfao,, i feel like i could've given just a little more but it's not bad i think. i mean i do enjoy it. my remixee has qrted the fic tweet and said they read it and enjoyed it, but intend to leave a comment as well, so i can't ask for more than that :3


      remixed for me: it's LOONA!!! WE CHEERED...i love receiving one of my ults, but more than that i'm happy to have been doing this for 3 yrs with no repeated fandom remixes :D and just like the other years, the remixed fic was a niche one. this time it's from that hyeju/gowon loonaverse-inspired drabble i posted for dreamgirls fest, which isn't even hosted on ao3, i kinda threw that in for fun tbh but my remixer said they loved it so ;-; wow. go read this wonderful remix and the link to my original is in the fic posting as well since it's a remix ^^


  • sunwoo fest: sent in check in 2, and i said i was about 45% done but it's hard to say bc it's not planned out much (no surprise there). i'm not stressed since submissions are at the end of october, just super excited to read the fics that come out of this!!


  • eric fest: didn't touch it this month bc i had...well, everything else, but check in 2 is coming up so i'll get back to it soon <3

riize introduction film commentary

this video is long and i had a lot of thoughts.
this isn't meant to be deep or coherent and honestly it's not as long as i expected but whatever. it's 3am here we go

Intro of the intro:
  • This intro showing the shooting location is long (it’s 3min but…anyways) but it is kind of a cool place i guess


Member intros
  • THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN MUSICAL THEMES LIKE VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS…
  • Oh right they have the real time odyssey webtoon, it probably has to do with that
  • I think it’s cute how it seems like shotaro said “i like fashion” and sungchan said “well i like to…wear clothes?” and then they let sungchan stare in a mirror and pose and sit down on a couch and look pretty,, is that why the members have called him the modeling club guy lmfao


  • There are a lot of cuts to the riize logo, it was making me dizzy and feel slightly brainwashed like i was at a brand meeting


Group producers
  • I think this is the first time i’ve heard people from a group’s production team talk about the vision and goals at the beginning of the group’s career, which is fun!
  • Clearly they want this to work out bc it’s their jobs to make sure it does but with all the sm ent “drama”…idk some of what they said made me think of exo and the situations there. congrats to riize for pulling those stocks the fuck up btw
  • 10 years in the future… god that made me think about 2033 and i got freaked out…


  • The whole memories mv is in here, that’s a choice, maybe it is intended to feel like a brand meeting/launch video. fair enough


Riize talk
  • Anton MC I LAUGHED SO MUCH WHEN THEY TEASED HIM…real maknae life here seriously can they go one video without bagging on him? Maybe not
  • Ranking section:

    • Wonton are perfect travel companions <3
    • I love that shotaro has an LA story for every occasion, or in some cases the same LA story, he’s getting good mileage out of that trip and those…MEMORIES
    • Interest section:
    • Inaccurate depiction of how Sungchan’s response went down
      SC: i’m interested in the members
      ST: as in you like us? or the fans?
      SC: i like you, the members
      ST: you promise? do you love us, too?
      SC: yes, in fact i’m in gay love with all of you right now
      ST: :D

  • Zoom in section:

    • Aw i like how they let anton choose everyone’s concepts, that was cute. And of course they tried to make him do like 50 things when it got to his turn…sungchan please…


  • GOV ASSIGNED SONG COMPONENTS 0-0


  • Just now comprehending how cute the wonton pair dance moment in GAG is <3


  • I like the Lo-Fi Beat to Chill To that closes out the video??
    Considering all the sounds you hear that are created for riize, realtime odyssey (as a media/concept/extension of riize’s lives etc.) has a nice soundscape^^

healingz pda in the airport
relationship: allen/seongmin [healingz]
word count: 594

first twitter drabble in over a year holyyyy shit. i was shaking posting it...it's not just bc rpf has gotten more touchy in some of the circles i'm in/adjacent circles (i guess?), this was also my first attempt at writing anything omegaverse related. me and omegaverse have an interesting relationship i suppose. rachel changed everything when she wrote [ ] and it was actually GOOD and INTERESTING and then she and lizza broke me down further for years until i became who i am today, which is a SCENT ENTHUSIAST (i also blame tbz and hyunjae in particular, who milo calls "mr. sniffy").

more about the content: i got direct inspiration from some shady airport pics, which i won't link here but you can definitely find them on twt, so. for those of you who keep up with every WL, this was an idea i included in last month's!! cravity is a very sniffy and cuddly group imo which lends well to omegaverse aus, but the way seongmin (and others) obsess over allen is just. wow. like he's their special little guy for real. and healingz skinship is so tender i love them sooo much. ALSO A COUPLE DAYS AGO ALLEN TALKED ABOUT HOW SEONGMIN HUGS HIM AND LIKES TO SMELL HIM!!! I STILL CANT BELIEVE IT LIKE THE TIMING IS A LITTLE CRAZY? LOOK...

i left it open to interpretation about whether seongmin is an alpha or omega but i really wanted allen to be a beta bc as i get more curious and open to omegaverse i'm interested in the role and possibilities of betas. seongmin loves sweets (food) and he likes mild, sweet scents according to this one tweet i'm too lazy to link (it's a menpa answer btw). so i went with macaroons for seongmin because he's been shown to like them and allen as "rosewater" because rose macaroons are a thing.

  • sunwoo fest: 1st check in passed, next one isn't for a while <3 yay

  • ficmix: i'm stressed, i've thought about it every single day but haven't really started it. it's been hard bc i'm torn between a fic that affected me emotionally to the point that i'm not eager to reread it and go through it so thoroughly and a couple other fics that are good but not as impactful so i don't have as many ideas about how to remix them. fml

comments: not much to say, the boys met with a production guy to go over some logistics and agree to a loose game plan for their official collab video. since seunghun isn't behind the camera this time, their scene is gonna be a little different to write and i haven't started it yet...but i'm excited to explore the various sources of tension in this situation and just go wild.

comments: this is honestly so fun, but my brain gets so overwhelmed at times bc i really like this prompt and i can imagine a bunch of vague ways it can go at once...this is a pairing i've only written for once before, but it's 100% a natural progression for me. i have no idea how far i'm gonna take it and what rating it will end up with btw. also real life is giving me great material lately so my brainrot is festering at the perfect time. love it.

sun & sentiment
fandom: loona, itzy
relationships: yves/gowon, minor lia/yuna
word count: 1.8k

loona fic #4, who else smiled!!! somehow i ended up having gowon at the beach again (Sapphic Saltbrain Summer). and yves at a gay bar again (In My Place). but it felt completely new because it's yveswon, which i recently fell into after bbc imploded and they became pretty much inseparable and married during the period of uncertainty that lasted months, and also because it's a period piece! this fic came about because i just couldn't stop thinking about these tweets describing lesbian cruising in the 70s. i've always been really interested in the 70s, maybe because i've been a scooby doo fan since i was five but regardless, i always love attempting to dive into that time period. this isn't my first time doing so in fic either, the minibin i posted is vaguely 70s and my cobric wip is, too.

OKAY BACK TO THE FIC AT HAND. so once i pictured shake it queendom stage gowon it was OVER, i knew i had to write this. it was super interesting and fulfilling to do some research on jacob riis beach in new york, as i unfortunately never knew about it or its status as a queer haven until those tweets. i also just spent some time learning about cruising, historical gay hotspots, and even a lesbian neighborhood in the 90s called womontown. the rings that yves and gowon wear in this fic are inspired by the "couple rings" they have irl btw. in case anyone cared and/or didn't know. i would like to apologize for the lack of lesbian sex here. i was close to writing out their hookup in full detail but i was originally aiming to post this during pride month and then even after i let go of that deadline, i still felt pressured for some reason? i'm so sorry i will do better...

lastly, i've never finished any itzy fic before and a few months back i tried to write yulia for a dreamgirls fest prompt, but it's still unfinished as of now - so somehow they just showed up in here instead lmaoooo. for midzys or anyone else paying attention you'll know that the shot glass they talk about in this fic was inspired by the shot glass chaeryeong bought irl, although admittedly i only watched the clip where itzy showed it and not the full video so idk where they were or anything...but yeah i hope yulia were cute here >< i really want to write a full fic for them though, no one else is out here is...so...[kicks rocks]

what was i up to during the epic highs and lows of pride month?

[events]



  • ficmix sign-ups closed on the 27th!!!


  • eric fest opened claiming and self-prompting on june 30th! i intended to join but i'm a bit hesitant right now since i'll be having two other concurrent events (ficmix and sunwoo fest) going on. Thinking.

four's a crowd (i want in)
fandom: Cravity
relationships: Wonjin/Minhee/Serim/Hyeongjun, Wonjin/Serim/Hyeongjun, Minhee/Serim/Hyeongjun
word count: 4k

so just to preface, yes this is posted on anon because i'm a little embarrassed about the content and not all that confident about the quality but hey, that's literally what anon is for. i always intended to post it! this fic is the first in...well any of the relationships i tagged. so that's fun.

ANYWAYS about the content and my thoughts. well it was an impulsive idea and until the very end i never took it seriously,, although a friend kindly offered to beta it and i took them up on it, that was helpful so that it wasn't as confusing because it's already chaotic. i wanted to write this just to explore my own thoughts about wonjin and minhee and think about how they get along with each other but also by extension hyeongjun and serim, how that would or wouldn't impact the dynamics of all 4 of them, and just take a minute to look at the little tangled web they have as they are irl too. all the cravity bedsharing anecdotes, footage, etc. is all extremely compelling to me. i also think minhee has things to say. for example he once typed "wonjin-hyung likes me best though" and that has stayed with me.

i'm enthusiastic about polyamorous relationships and wanted to take a crack at a different type (my bbangnyukyu = closed triad, my hyewonrim = v-type/pre-triad, not necessarily closed) with explicit metamors - people who are with each other's partners but don't become partners to each other. their relationship diagram looks like a diamond with one line through the middle, and 4 of them are the points of the diamond.

but yeah the premise is random (meet-weird?), i pushed kinks and other things in there with little restraint just to see if i could, and i wasn't initially gonna go third person limited pov and let everyone have their moments to shine but that's what happened. lmao. omniscient pov didn't feel intimate or insane enough for the vibe that developed within the beginning section where wonjin walks in...??

in the process of writing this i became 50% more obsessed with minhee which is fine i guess. i did make him have long blond hair in this because i like it. and his hair had to be pulled. sorry. i'm no longer mourning that hair era, i promise i'm good now.

comments: this doc is titled "happy pride", i wanted to get it done in like 1-2days before june was over but that didn't happen. which is ok :3 it's a very spontaneous idea that i got from thinking abt that tweet of the clip where an older lesbian gave an anecdote about cruising at riis beach in the 70s. i've been reading and watching some stuff about lesbian hangouts/spots, cruising, and riis beach/queer beaches in general so i can have the knowledge!! i'm extremely into yveswon lately...as if it's my fault...

AND THATS ALL I WORKED ON. WHOA. i was really absorbed in these two docs and didn't crave much variety i guess!

ideas


  • forest nymph hyeongjun (insp: that pic of him posing in the bird's nest)


thinking about starting my swf fic and ficmix coming back probably soon is making me shake like a small dog on the inside. anyways if you're reading this i hope you had a great jacob month. we are going to get through the rest of this year together and everything will be okay in the end!

April Writing Log



april stretched on and on. so much happened i forgot to even think about this log...

[events]



  • dreamgirls fest: while i only got around to one fill, i had fun reading other writers' work (the ryuryeong goes crazyyy) and seeing all the thought-provoking prompts! i half- or quarter-started another fill and there were a few prompts that i'm really into so i might still get around to filling one or more of those since the fest remains open for fills throughout the year. i'm serious about wanting to post gg fic that's NOT loona lmao!!!


  • sunwoo fest: claiming opened on may 1st! i already got my prompt and i'm super excited, there were a few that i liked but this one is gonna be really fun i think. also kicking my feet at the fact that two of the prompts i sent on have been claimed :3

my little dgf fill! i definitely wanted to do more but once i got the idea i was pretty much forcing myself to write...so it's a bit funky but hey that's life. i haven't written and then immediately posted something in so long!! i've been sleeping on drabbles lately. anyway. i mainly took inspiration from the burn teasers and so what mv. for anyone who's not familiar with the loonaverse lore let me break it down: in canon olivia hye (hyeju) gets betrayed by yves (sooyoung) and then is abandoned by her and the rest of yyxy (chuu and gowon) in eden; this is like a mashup/au and fix-it fic.

  • babydoll allen gets tied up (yes i'm still on about shibari...listen)

  • "in another life juyeon and chanhee met in paris and could never be separated again" -> possible reincarnation au but could also just be a "stay here with me and forget your old life because we'll make a new one" thing

  • inspired by a tweet (past me look in ur bookmarks pls): resident "good boy" master's student haknyeon is running for president of the teacher's assistant association and a very hot "bad boy" juyeon comes to visit and is present at an event he organized. they happen to look like opposites sometimes but they're really not.

  • not an idea but I WANNA WRITE KIDFIC...why is there so much idol content with children lately or even that just resurfaced for me AHHHH

This Much is True Outtakes

hi, anyone who read my january writing log knew this might be coming...

so i have a doc titled "rejects...unless..." to which i add parts of fics that get rewritten, might be useful later on in the fic but are taking up space/are confusing, or just don't quite work. i started working on This Much is True in may 2022 and finished it up in january 2023. honestly, i have older wips that i'm still working on that have less words relegated to the rejects doc than TMIT, so i actually think it might be more of an indication of how focused i am or if i'm writing a lot or in crazy bursts or if i even remember that rejects exists. the process of writing every fic is so different for me, aside from the fact that 95% of the time i don't know how the fic will end before i'm on the verge of ending it.

anyways. here are a few things i cut out that i thought were somewhat interesting enough to share. rules: 1) you can laugh 2) i cut it bc i cut it case closed 3) optional: let me know if you learned something or wanna see more outtakes.

[WHERE: somewhere vaguely in the beginning, probably around the tearful phonecall]


Over the years, the one thing that has made itself clear is that Serim has no boundaries and little forethought.

(If he had boundaries, maybe Hyeongjun wouldn’t have fallen in love with him. If he had more forethought, maybe, just maybe, he would’ve noticed that Hyeongjun is in love with him and saved Hyeongjun from the minefield that is trying to date other people.)

And for this, he’s unforgivable. But Hyeongjun will always try to forget, because that’s what best friends do.

-



[WHERE: karaoke bar, coworkers meeting HJ]


“How old are you?”

“I’m 21. And you?”

“24. My god, you look too young to be in this bar. You’re going to age so well, it’s mad.”

Joseph fusses over him so much that Serim is beating back the jealousy demons—

On second thought… “Can you not try to steal my boyfriend?”

-



[WHERE: karaoke bar, pre-Haruna karaoke time]

No matter how much of a hardass Charlie Daye could be, he fully understood the importance of letting loose. Ulfmoor worked hard and played hard; and if someone had decided to come out to celebrate and was holding back, he noticed.

The only person without a smile on their face in this bar is Haruna. He was glad that he got to meet Hyeongjun, but after they spoke for a bit his lips settled back into a line.

A lot of pressure had been put on him as a goalie playing against Overbury Green, and unfortunately he crumbled under it. Serim understood him; he, too,

-



[WHERE: confession scene, serim spilling his True thoughts]


“Y’know, I just figured…you’re warm and show care, affection, and aegyo to anyone you kinda tolerate - and you have a lot of choices in people, anyway, since you enchant every person who sees you.”

“I don’t? Stop exaggerating.”

“Taeyoung is infatuated, Haruna is rethinking heterosexuality, and Joseph is straight up going to steal you from me.”

“Oh…okay, my bad.”

-



[WHERE: confession scene, serim's memory // aka the day serim ran into a pole full version]

There had been half an hour for Serim to get to the soccer club but he hadn’t even gotten on the bus yet. He was usually fine with time management between school and practice - and by fine it was more like barely scraping by - but his Korean professor had let the class go into overtime. He ran out the front of the university and headed straight for the bus stop. As he dodged the pedestrian traffic with the bus stop in sight, a distinct voice called out from the sea of students and staff.

“Oh, hyung! Hi there!”

Serim’s first mistake was letting the voice disarm him for more than a moment. His second mistake was turning to look. His third mistake was not stopping his feet from moving.

His teammates had laughed at the bruise blooming on his face and the aches elsewhere did him no favors with intense physical activity. But if there was a bright side to that situation, it was sharing a bus ride with Hyeongjun for the first time.

-



[WHERE: post-confession scene, the sliver of makeout session i was gonna slip in got cut out completely!]

“Park Serim, do not finger me in public!”

“It was an accident, I swear! Your ass, it just - it was, like, sucking me in, why is it so big, I get lost. It seems like your legs should be good at kicking balls since your ass and thighs are so well developed, you know…”

“I could kick your balls just fine if I needed to.”

//

“Call a cab. Let’s do this in the comfort of your home.”

    comments: i'm finally starting to enjoy this fully?? and the end is in sight. again, i'm stuck on the ending and still trying to check for continuity and overall flow etc etc but this month was great for this fic. i'm surprised at the length but then again i've never written porn with this many people involved so how would i have known. cheers to new experiences. fuck i don't know what to do for a title. also emily has approved the use of minimakz for minhee + gomakz (serim/hyeongjun/wonjin) so can we make it a thing? whoever is reading this please keep it in your heart. thank you

    comments: FINALLY STARTED THE NEXT SECTION omg rollerskating yaaaaay. not sure how long the section will be. or what the end goal is. the whole purpose of this fic is just to show all the best memories when eric felt the best with jacob so i'll find out what the "significance" of the as i go through it. excited to do that! might have to bring in some cameos here. wow in my in-doc notes the next part i envisioned a while back was the wedding ceremony LOL i may or may not add more parts between rollerskating date and wedding. depending on the intensity of their relationship by the end of the date i guess.

    i cant remember anything. i was just thinking about minhee everyday. sorry.

January Writing Log



i told y'all...month 1 of 2023 and i've already posted more words than in all of 2022!

events


moonlight party
this event was an exchange so i got a fic in return!! it's hyunvi (hyunjin/vivi) and it's so fun and sweet, lighthearted but still tugs at your heartstrings at one point ;-;

in the sign up forms you had to list some tropes and aus and my gifter basically put all of what i listed in this fic, it's kinda crazy. like domestic slice of life scifi are you kidding meeee I GENUINELY LIKE THE BITS OF WORLDBUILDING TOO LIKE <333 ah i'm still really happy and blessed forever. who knew loona disbandment era would still give me a lot to smile about hhh.

also i want to note that ao3 user eternalpoptimist wrote my fav hyunvi fic in existence so far, so i'm not surprised they were able to deliver yet again.

It's Just Us (So Stay Sparkly)
fandom: loona
relationship: chuu/kim lip (chuulip)
wordcount: 2.5k

my fic for moonlight party, i finally got to have a go at my precious 99z <33 if you've read my last few logs you already know it was hard to get started because of loona's company imploding (yay but ouch). writing about chuu when her situation was unknown right after getting kicked out was...not working ;-; but luckily the general outlook improved and i was able to throw something together. someone commented that this fic made them feel better with everything going on (i'm humbled) and honestly i wrote it to make myself feel a little better and lighten up!! i wanted to imagine a world where loona was still there, just not as a group as we know them. it's part of me getting into a post-loona mindset i guess! anyway it was hard to get into idolverse after a long while away, it's not really my thing anymore but i like it when other ppl do it sometimes. my giftee likes angst and i knew i was gonna skip out on that so i was happy that they also like "idiots to lovers",, that being said idk if it's quite there but i can always do silly and always enjoy it^^ but overall it came out alright, i feel a bit unsatisfied though. if i had more time, i'd definitely develop and flesh out more themes, maybe add more members, and delve deeper into my "commentary" on idol life and industry which is apparently a thing i can do now.

wordcount: 11.2k !!!!!

MY GIFT FOR EMILY THAT YALL HAVE SEEN IN MY LOGS FOR FOREVER...i created its doc on 5/24/22, a little over a week before her bday and it just spiraled from there. i created two previous docs and the wips in there aren't bad and as i've said, they might warrant revisiting or posting on here. in the end i realized those weren't as geared towards emily specifically and i really like making gifts that are special and as specific as possible bc otherwise why bother? so i actually asked what she liked and formed TMIT based on mutual pining, sports au, and comedy. not sure if i've mentioned this before but i had come close to writing a soccer au before so while recalling serim's personal history as an athlete i SMILED. i had no idea it would reach over 10k and i'm still just like whoa i did ALL this? there's a lot of fun parts but my fav parts to write were the couch scene, the end part of the confession scene, and the karaoke - which was hard to coordinate with the pacing and imagery and their movements etc etc but yeah! although this plot is not very serious, as is my usual, this fic was a challenge! most of the difficulty was doing soccer research, deciding what positions the soccer players should have, and of course making up an english town and football club. i took this very seriously and came up with excess info lmao. here's a little ref sheet about ulfmoor united #bonuscontent

Name: Ulfmoor United
Nickname/Mascot: the Yewies/Dark wolves

ficmix 2022

this was my second year participating and i have to say, i still enjoy it. some people are really stressed out about trying to please their remixee or have trouble "giving up" their fics to some rando but idk i'm fine with all of it. i love variety and getting random with it. shoutout to the ppl i've interacted with so far bc of it, there's only a few of y'all but you're very sweet and encouraging <3 you can find the writing log where i went into detail about my thoughts & process & the fic that came out of it all (Anything He Wants) here :]

untitled bbangsun valentine's day drabble

twt | younghoon/sunwoo | bfs in the morning | 231

yeah so this was the first warning sign that i was a bbangsunist. i can now say with confidence that i am one. and as this whole deobi rps thing drags on i fear i may become an allsunist because sunwoo is just that guy to me idk what to tell you. he's so full of love, it's not my fault. looking back at this drabble almost a year later it is VERY random and i don't like it much lmao


for me & you & them
ao3 | hyunsuk/seunghun (hunsuk?) | sex work collective au | NSFW | 2.8k

as of now this is still under anon but this was my first ao3 post in 2022 and my 3rd cix fic posted!! i don't wanna get into it but after i fell out with a certain person in the fandom/ficdom it was really hard for me to commit to and finish any cix ideas. but i'm cool now! i'm considering writing more for this au since this shows the beginning of hyunsuk's work with the collective. the concept for this fic was pretty random, just an idea inspired by sh's messages about his vlog with hs. tbh i was surprised at how ppl received it, there was interest right away :') i'm not particularly a hunsukist myself but since 2020 i haven't discriminated against any cix ship, it's all fine and good to me. i'm always self-conscious when i put out porn but if this au goes on it should get nastier. i would like it to, it feels right.


are we going nowhere?
ao3 | minhee/woobin (aka winterz) | singer woobin + manager minhee | 861

my first ever cravity fic. minhee/woobin intrigues me for reasons even i'm not entirely sure of. at the time i wrote it, winterz was kinda in a slump or whatever but since then i've seen more from them and learned even more about their dynamic so. could i revisit them in the future? anything is possible. i had another idea right after i was done w this that is on the serious side but i wanna remind myself that they can also be silly!! also this ended up being my token songfic of the year!! go listen to the marias, they're one of my fav artists!!!!

Anything He Wants
ao3 | jacob/sunwoo (suncob) | prince jacob + personal attendant sunwoo | NSFW | 3.8k

this is my second ficmix fic! it was a bit of a challenge for me to write but i'm always glad to contribute and indulge in more suncob. here's the writing log where i talked about it and my thought/writing process. i do feel that i could've done better as my time management was worse than i thought but nonetheless it makes me happy that my remixee (ao3 user Bazzys) enjoyed it <3

reflection

it's insane to me that i only posted four things in a year, with one of them being a very short drabble. this was definitely my smallest year in terms of posting. i'm a little disappointed that i couldn't finish anything sooner since i have sooo many wips, but i'm satisfied because i know i continued to engage with them over the year and if i keep with them then 2023 is gonna be a bigger year within like,, 4 months. [stares at the selmsong]

active wips


longest: TIE between 1) don't look to a stranger [suncob] and 2) violet rising sequel [taegyujun], both are at 6.8k right now

shortest: the real answer of course is 0 words but let me be serious and say that it's JAKE & SUNNY [suncob] with 393 words

oldest: things known and loved [cobric], started 3/15/21

most recent: unhinged ot4 [gomakz+minhee], started 8/15/22

total new: 3

total carried over from previous years: 5

reflection


never did i imagine i'd be working on a fic for more than 1 year without posting part of it. some of these wips could be broken into chapters, but in my head that's not how they're broken up so we'll see...overall i'm impressed with how many i carried over! obviously i'm trying to stay committed and focused on ones i really like. in 2022 i think i succeeded at curbing my urge to start a bunch of ideas. it even seems like i had less ideas than in 2021 if i go by my writing logs (random one-off tweets that i don't rmbr til later are a different story...)

comments: i can’t wait to post, I’ve had this THANG on me for too long and it’s big now. it’s breaking my metaphorical back. like damn i have to scroll through more than 20 pages to reach the part that I’m working on!! gonna be 8k words of ummm…well hehehe…! i was really hoping I’d be able to post it this month buuuut you know, my scheduling never really works out. when i say vityfic writers are unwell i guess i’ll include myself in it BUT this fic is very fun and tame and normal so. give me some credit for that. very tempted to hint at what’s in here but i shall abstain until the end…

September Writing Log



this took me days to put together & so i've been writing things i didn't touch in sept just so i don't have to update or remember wcs hhhhhhh

events



Ficmix
ITS OVERRR my god. ao3 user Hindy remixed i can't stand to fly and gave me a sequel called the better part of me. it's really cute and it makes me happy^^ i never thought icstf would get remixed because it's kind of...eclectic i guess? idk but i fucking love suncob and clearly everyone knows that.

as i just stated, i fucking love suncob. therefore i wrote suncob even when i had the choice of other sunwoo and jacob ships. ALSO i had multiple suncob options because ao3 user Bazzys has taste.

Bazzys has written a couple of my favorite tbz fics as it turns out! i was taken aback when i got my matching email. just 1-2 weeks before i'd read their kyucob <3 so i was like WHOA? anyways that's how profiling works i guess.

so let me tell you what i DIDN'T do for Bazzys...
  • changing up Break Your Rules (kyucob) by making jacob part monster. i got fixated on the idea of squid monster (think ben from the umbrella academy??) bc of come on tbz and jacob's real life thing for octupi. i was prepared to get real nasty and create energy in a doc that i'd never thought i would but in the end i didn't have the gumption to do it. i like the original too much<3
  • making House of Cards (sunnew) into either a cinderella-esque au or kicking up the childhood friends/almost lovers to "i know you from a past life" (aliens and space travel?? post-apocalypse? reincarnation??? there were a lot of directions in my mind). the issue with this was that i had a feeling it'd get too long to the point of me not being able to finish it by the submission deadline and/or me getting annoyed.


overall: i thought i was getting txt but i got suncob and i also got to give suncob :D so even though i wasn't as into it as last year, i'm still very satisfied with my matches and happy that i signed up @.@


Girls' Halloween
it's kicking off in a couple days!! in case y'all don't know, it's an event that takes place ON DW where you can post prompts about female artists/groups and get them filled within the month of october. you can post on anon if you want to as well, on dw or on ao3.

there were a couple fics i really enjoyed last year that came out of GH. this year my goal is to fill at least 1 prompt!


postings



my remix is called Anything He Wants. it's essentially a royalty au of the original work with some added backstory (adding plot to the porn) and the porn is from 3rd person sunwoo centric pov the whole time. yep. "princess" is a cute petname regardless of anything else but For Me it was fun to make it have significance that carried over from life outside the bedroom - that's where the whole concept came from. i literally just plagiarized rewrote the porn scene and added a bunch of stuff before that!! i shouldn't have left the porn for last though because i could've written it more thoroughly and stylized it for myself better if i hadn't procrastinated ;; lolll but it was interesting to write somnophilia for the first time. i don't Not like it. lastly, i also added haknyeon into the story as a side character, i hope he's cute!

AHW mini playlist:
  1. viva la vida by coldplay

  2. the boy is mine - brandy & monica

  3. everything she wants - wham!

wc: 656
comments: this feels like it's already 1k but it isn't??? okay. btw it's not something i Need to finish or anything, it's just silly and i'm letting it hang around...but if i do end up posting it then so be it (would probably be on ao3 as anon or maybe on here)

u wanna dance? (yves x heejin [heeves] freestyle roulette au)
wc: 27
comments: they're both dancers and saw each other compete in the finals of the competition. later, when they're both still in LA, heejin happens upon yves at a party at a beachfront hotel. HOWEVER all i've written in the doc is the prompts that they received for the semi-finals...

Sci-Fi Recs

i've always been a big fan of speculative fiction ever since i could remember. for a while, though, i forgot how much i liked reading things that fall more specifically into the sci-fi genre. then, in the last couple years, i took some english classes to fulfill more of my GEs and i Remembered. two of those classes were sci-fi specific and they basically saved my ability to read original fiction. so...

here's a list of recently-ish read works that i love

Novels



The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

  • rating: 5/5

  • subgenre: planetary exploration, aliens

tlhod actually haunts me. i want to reread it but idk like do i have that much emotional energy to spare. when i got to a certain chapter i just had to stop reading and try to regain my stability. yes i did cry a little. le guin is insane for this!!! to be honest this moved me so deeply and made it feel like life was still worth it and wonder was still alive and well when i was miserable in zoom school. i carry this story in my body even if i can't remember all the delicious fine details. if you read a blurb of it, it may not seem like it's about love and acceptance and politics but it is i prommy. if you read this can you please talk to me about it


Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood

  • rating: 4.5/5

  • subgenre: dystopian future, post-apocalypse

  • warning: child porn/prostitution is a backstory point


i couldn't stop thinking about this for like 2 weeks straight. it's so fucked up that it's baffling. but it's also real, even too real at some points. the way the details of What Happened are revealed and start to come together is well done. kept me wanting more til the end. this book is the first part of a trilogy called the Madaddam Trilogy and i'm actually reading book 2 rn!


Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor

  • rating: 4.25/5

  • subgenre: alien invasion, afrofuturism, environmental fiction


this is the first time i read a sci-fi story that takes place in africa! and it's cool because nigeria is next to ghana, where half my heritage is from (let's go west africans). it's crazy how slice of life it is but at the same time sooo wack with all the perspective changes and characters and the weird shit going on. the narration goes crazy and the use of pidgin english adds that extra level of Realism. like oryx and crake, you can totally see this happening. the ending could've done more for me but it's a good read as an overall experience.


Tiger Flu by Larissa Lai

  • rating: 4.25/5

  • subgenre: dystopian future


we all know about the amazons, wonder woman, and all that but i've never known anything like the all female society that's in this book (and yes they are lesbians). the story is lowkey an insane ride and i got confused at some points. but we got some scrumptious organic vs synthetic tension going on in here and a couple crazy dream-like sequences that were very trippy which i'm in awe of still. while i didn't like the ending, the book's concepts and scenes stuck in my mind so well that it was worth the read to me and i would reread it.


Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

  • rating: 4/5

  • subgenre: wilderness exploration, humans vs nature


so i had to read this book in one day because i was behind in class BUT LET ME TELL YOU it is doable! the story starts slow and then just builds and builds, it's so ominous, it feels like a good psych thriller movie in some ways. i love the descriptions and the imagery. the main character is very interesting but that's all i can say.


Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

  • rating: 4/5

  • subgenre: space war, humans vs aliens

  • warning: 80's-typical very offensive & out of pocket language


so obviously this is super famous and paved the way and i can see why. story time: i got scared because there's a chapter title called VENI VIDI VICI and i just started looking into cravity while reading...everything connects <3 i'm actually curious whether this book had any influence over the song (the scifi vibes cravity has sometimes & the lyrics...it's possible). OKAY ENOUGH ABOUT CRAVIY honestly i had mixed feelings about the book as i read it. some parts are pretty technical and on a very personal note sometimes i had trouble imagining scenes well in my head. but i'm a sucker for fucked up things that keep you guessing. plus the multiple narrators. overall it just keeps driving on and on until WHOA but the ending is rlly a setup for the rest of the series which i'm not gonna read (or at least not past book 2) so...yeah it is what it is

Short Stories



Patterns of a Murmuration, in Billions of Data Points

  • rating: 4.75/5

  • subgenre: AI, not completely dystopian future but it's bleak


I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE?? i promise it made an impact on me though. just can never remember the title correctly smh. anyway, i really love the diction & syntax & structure of this, the worldbuilding/situational set up, and the concept of this ai consciousness. good program, very beautiful very powerful. not only can this make you feel something for an ai but it also pushes the imagery-boundary of what is synthetic and organic. give it up for the nature-tech dichotomy


Salt Slow by Julia Armfield

  • rating: 4.5/5

  • subgenre: ominous and weird slice of life


note that this is a short story COLLECTION so while there were a few stories i didn't connect with as much, it's amazing as a whole. i love the variety and there are some really interesting twists in here. contains animals and creatures.


Mother of Invention by Nnedi Okorafor

  • rating: 3.75/4

  • subgenre: afrofuturism, AI


a lot of AI depictions in media are disturbing but this one is not, it felt refreshing to me. super short so that's all i'm gonna say. hehe


Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang

  • rating: 5/5

  • subgenre: alien contact


this is the story that the movie arrival was based off of, so if you've seen that you know this shit slaps. if you haven't seen that, it doesn't matter because this is the OG and it slaps severely imo. i cried. i lost my mind. this hurts so good. pour one out for parent-child relationships


Bloodchild by Octavia Butler

    rating: 4/5
  • subgenre: aliens, body horror

  • warning: yeah so the body horror and gore (no eye stuff though) is just really nasty. not for the faint of heart


disturbing to say the least. great concept though, octavia butler was not afraid to do crazy shit and make people Think. she paved the way. @ the characters in this ummm talk about complicated relationships...


Emergency Skin by N. K. Jemisin

    rating: 4.5/5
  • subgenre: planetary exploration, fuck elon musk (not Literally but it's not a joke)

  • note: can't find it online but if you also can't find it and really want to read this, i will send you the pdf


very relevant sociocultural commentary. rereading it only makes it stronger imo because seeing the little pieces of foreshadowing and etc. is super satisfying. love the main character. i felt touched by the ending! 2020 hugo award winner!!

Standard Loneliness Package by Charles Yu

  • rating: 4.75/5

  • subgenre: we live in a boring dystopia


the actual concept of this is amazing (and fucked up/haunting) in itself but for me, it's how it's written. some parts of it are like poetry! who else loves when lines are repeated and gain different meanings? please read this.


Smog Society by Chen Qiufan

  • rating: 3.75

  • subgenre: future, climate fiction


this is a clever commentary on multiple fronts. ngl i didn't remember that much about it except that some lines were very good and the ending made me smile. i realize i have to reread all of these stories so i can keep carrying them with me :>


Dispatches from the Cradle: The Hermit - Forty-Eight Hours in the Sea of Massachusetts by Ken Liu

  • rating: 3.75/5

  • subgenre: climate fiction

  • note: lmk if you want the pdf :]


okay honestly this didn't have the biggest impact on me overall, like yeah it's good but it made the list because i really like how history and perspectives are talked about in this. there are also some really great lines (i could reread this just to mine it for quotes).


Metal Like Blood in the Dark by T. Kingfisher

    rating: 4.75/5
  • subgenre: space exploration, AI


i found this heartwarming and creative. tbh i'm not the biggest fan of robots, they're cool but i don't go out of my way to consume robot media or anything, so i was surprised by how much i loved it. HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SHORT STORY 2021!!


The Sin of America by Cathrynne M. Valente

  • rating: 3.75/5

  • subgenre: um??? small town weirdness i suppose


an unconventional narrative style for a short story, at least to me. at first i was lost because it seems super random but it turns out it's very heavy on symbolism. i can see why this is a hugo awards 2022 nominee (could it win?). definitely makes you think!

the ratings are kind of whatever because i'm just doing my best with what i can remember rn (i'd love to reread all of these one day!), also i'm not someone who rates stuff in general lmao. bottom line is if i didn't care for it or found it mediocre, it wouldn't be here!

ALSO: as for the stuff that i didn't connect with as much, i can totally throw those titles at you, too, if that's something you're into. happy reading my friends <3

August Writing Log

this post marks 1 year of my writing logs! i'm really happy i started doing these & even though sometimes they annoy me, it's worth it to have a record of things.

although i'm still lazy with learning little html and css things, at least this post doesn't look Exactly the same as my first wl :]

events



FICMIX IS ON! the new deadline is sept 11th so yeah i'm gonna take that time to finish mine, polish it, and try to come up with a title, summary, & pictures for the...graphic. really curious if my mixer did an nct or tbz fic for me OR went with one of my less-written fandoms. still stunned that i got a oneus fic last year <3

djf round 3 is starting, claiming is still open and there are a few prompts i'd do BUT i could also self-prompt jake & sunny (suncob fic starter, yknow like a sourdought starter but a story) HOWEVERRR i also have all these wips that i actually want to finish so i might just. chill.

postings



are we going nowhere? is the first cravity fic on my ao3. i didn't think my first fic for them would be minibin of all pairings but i'd wanted to write smth inspired by abq by the marias for quite some time now and one night i was like hmmmm this can help me cope with the minibin divorce. (ask me about my taste in cravity ships.) anyways, it was nice to just go and bang out a short thing without any real expectations. here's to the first of (potentially) many applejwoos vityfics!

wips



ficmix 2022
wc: over 1k but [classified]
comments: if y'all knew the pairing you'd know which fic is mine once they're all posted. let's just say that once again i added a lot of backstory into the mix ><

super late gift for emily

comments: i love having silly ideas and putting the together. this is serim/hyeongjun/wonjin/minhee aka hyeongjun & his 3 boyfriends. special thanks to emily and that one vlive for helping to make this a reality


ideas


  • hyeongjun/wonjin + polyamory negotiations with builder!serim based on this: https://twitter.com/imjaebabie/status/1468058071134052356?s=21&t=kq6thL_PB5Ib_3tXD-qRfA

    • thanks emily for supporting my deranged cravity ideas


  • NOT ANOTHER GYM AU - yes, yes another one, it is always warranted.

    • idk what pairing but if you're reading this, you're very much allowed to give ur input

    • combination of 2 tumblr textposts since i need help: "men will lift weights that they cant lift just so that they could pant and moan in the gym with their men friends. i know what you're doing" + "I have been banned from moaning as a bit on account of it giving everyone boners every time i do it. Oops!"




i think it's funny that i started doing wl as a replacement for "monthly media roundups" but as of rn i still can't think of doing mmr because it'd be too much work and info to gather lkrgkljoiejogh that's just me though. but i do have a media-related post in the works so look out for that...in the near future. love yall

July Writing Log


welcome to the shortest writing log in my dreamwidth history

events



ficmix update: i decided on a fic and i have a roadmap in my mind. i just started writing it a couple days ago and the check in was august 6th! i'm waiting on the reply email but i had over 500 words already so i'm obviously in good shape. it's really cool because i'm incorporating an au idea that i tried to write 3 years ago or so and i literally use the doc as reference lol. it is my view that i didn't write all that much in july because i was pondering over this so hard!!

djf r3 is coming! the theme is tbzverse which is pretty appealing to me. i might break my ?? month long absence from fests with this :> and this would be my 2nd time ever repeating an event.

comments: i'm honestly doing the most here sknfjdkfkhj. i couldn't tell if it was deranged or too silly or not so i had lizza read it (thank you ily) and we good apparently :D recently i skipped over a part of it bc i'm really stuck on how to go about it...spoiler i've never written sports like this - i've thought about it but it never panned out. maybe this will change my life idk idk. selmsongers, to be clear i am offering you something stupid BUT no one dies and no one murders or commits crimes against humanity so that must count for something

yep that's itttt i posted a little thingie on ao3 on august 1st (user applejwoos lives!) so i'll feature that in the next writing log

ideas



  • mannequin serim comes to life and clings to hyeongjun, who is really scared at first because he's not the cause of this, he's just a guy that happens to be there

    [THE END]
