Getting this off my chest:
Back from a small fanfic hiatus, and I am absolutely flabbergasted by all of the fic authors now practically begging their readers to READ THE TAGS.
I’ve been seeing this warning written in summaries, in author’s notes, highlighted in all caps in the actual tags. I’ve read so many apologies written by authors in the comments in response to people chastising the author for writing what they wanted to write, for what they tagged correctly — for what essentially comes down to nothing more than having had other people actively ignore their tags or read despite them.
And there seems to be this bizarre, somehow largely accepted idea that it is the creators job and responsibility to beseech their readers to ‘use caution’ and to ‘stay safe’, to ‘be mindful of their health’…
I am beyond confused here.
Since when??? did exercising the most basic form of common sense and acknowledging one’s personal yeas and nays, likes and limitations, become some other random stranger’s burden rather than one’s own? And especially a random person who tagged their work correctly??? Does no one remember how to harness their own powers of discernment and self-regulation???
This little jaunt back onto ao3 has been unlike any that I’ve ever experienced before. What. Happened?????? Who is this new, apparently severely emotionally unstable and obstinately tags-reading resistant audience everyone has come to focus on?
It all feels so out of touch. The basic concept of ao3 is for the reader to seek out what they want, not what they don’t want. And to actually read. But there seems to have been an extremely strong shift away from reading. On ao3. A site built specifically for reading and writing. (And other fandom artistic pursuits, but not my focus, atm; though I’m sure whatever this is has crept steadily into all spaces there.)
Plummeting reading comprehension must be somewhat to blame; the popularity of fanfic amongst younger and wider audiences, as well. But… young people have always been there, as far as my own experiences go, and it was never like this. It’s as if too many readers don’t know how to make good or even practical decisions for themselves anymore, that they’ve lost the skill of choosing, and now believe that they must consume everything that passes before them; — that they have, for some reason, adopted the belief that any turmoil or dislike or discomfort felt within themselves is harm purposely being done to them by the author.
Idk. Idk, idk, idk. It’s just such a bummer to see how much nervousness and distress has entered the community. Authors notes and comments used to be hilarious fun, or a peek into someone else’s real-life world, used to be casual and full of personality, whereas nowadays, there seems to be an underlying hesitancy and distrust, a sort of growing divide between writers and readers, groups which, until recently, very much were not mutually exclusive.
--
Idiots have been around forever. The more you cater to them, the more entitled they get. It's best to shut that shit down fast and use no warnings that indicate a willingness to entertain stupid complaints.

Four Days. It has been four days, since you last saw Jeongin, your boyfriend. Normally the day gap wouldn't bother you, as you were accustomed to the feeling of being alone.
Your boyfriend being an idol, would leave for days for concerts and interviews; sometimes even weeks...
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
But this time its different. This time it was because of an argument. A stupid one at that. Over minimal things, over both of your assumptions.
And you've been fighting your urge everyday to not go knocking at his room and slapping some sense into him. After all it wasn't your fault anyways...
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
"Babe, I was only trying to help," You argued. "Really YN ?" " I don't think you are" Jeongin paused before muttering...
" I don't want YOU out of all people to be pitying me "
"Is it that hard to go to a therapist Innie ?"
You softly cooed at him, looking up to his familiar doe eyes...But only an unfamiliar icy cold look stared back at you.
"If not, then let me take care of you, how does a warm bubble bath and some massages sound? ''
You gave his hand a reassuring squeeze and smiled. He flinched and withdrew his hand from yours.
" WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALL TREAT ME LIKE A BABY ??? " He screamed.
" I'm not a baby anymore! I can take care of myself "
"Why are you..." He broke down, hot tears streaming down his face....
" Why are all of you telling me to do this, do that! I am fucking tired of it !!"
"Channie told me what's going on..."
" You don't sleep much nowadays, are always zoning out in practice and only come out of your bed to eat when the members call to you "
" You know you can always talk to me Innie ''
Your eyes are blurry now because of the tears so you looked down at the floor.
" So this is all a plot you made, so that you can get rid of me. " He glared at you.
" What ?? " You stared back at him, shocked.
" What does going to a therapist and taking care of yourself, have to do anything with me getting rid of you"
" And why would I do that!!!"
"Don't lie to me yn, I know you've been crushing on my best friend, Heesung, since a long time"
" I've seen the texts " He smirked.
" What The Fuck Jeongin ??" You spat back, glaring at him with tears in your eyes.
" What made you even think that I'm cheating on you ?"
"Idk" " You met him behind my back at the cafe last week."
"And you also said, don't tell Jeongin,"
" I watched you get all giggly with him"
"Oh... " You chuckled, relief washed all over you as you realised what's going on.
" You're completely mis reading the situation babe, it's not what it looks like "
" They always say that..." He muttered, clenching his teeth..
" Is that why you've been ignoring all my texts since the last week ?" You asked him calmly.
"You know what leave me actually"
"It'll do us both something good"
" You can finally get the peace you want."
You gasped, his words hitting you like a dagger in your chest.
" Do you even know what you're saying Jeongin ?" You screamed at him.
" Do you know why I met him ? No, right ? "
"Then how can you even assume I cheated on you "
" I don't know YN, it just doesn't seem right"
" I know I haven't been able to give you much time as I've been stressed out recently due to the upcoming comeback"
" I am dead tired inside and you.... " His voice is hoarse from all the crying..
" If you're happier with him, then I guess.."
"Jeongin...if that's what you think of me...I don't think..." You trailed off
" I should leave, I don't think I can do this anymore"
You watched him leave, closing the door behind him, a little too harshly.
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
The sound of the oven beeping, made you snap out of your thoughts. You looked around, and lazily got up from your couch to the kitchen.
Taking out the reheated pizza and putting it on a plate, you aimlessly scrolled through channels until you found one, a boring sitcom. You looked at the screen mindlessly and munched on your pizza.
You were half an hour into the plot when a notification popped up on your phone screen.
Picking it up you checked, it was an event reminder...
Reminder: INNIE'S Birthday 🎂 8th Feb
You threw your phone to the other end of the couch in frustration. You buried your head in your hands as fresh tears streamed down your face.
Oh how excited you were, to plan his first birthday. It was also your first anniversary with him. As this was the day, 8 Feb, one year ago, that you met him, in a cafe....
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
You two hit it off immediately, talking till hours until the cafe owners kicked you out. After a few weeks of dating, he asked you out officially to be his girlfriend.
You finally thought you found the one, he's the most amazing human being and the sweetest boyfriend.
Sure, it hasn't always been pink skies and rosy days, you have had your differences. He was away most of the time. But you understood...
You understood how difficult it is the manage the idol life as it is, let alone having a hidden relationship at that.
Because the moments you two shared together, melted all your loneliness and worries away. But now everything has changed.
The once familiar face of your smiley boy now gave an unfamiliar, immense pain in your chest.
What have you even done wrong, anyways ? You were planning a surprise party for him.
You wanted everything to be perfect. So you were taking tips from Heesung on which dishes he misses the most from his hometown.
Not that you don't know. But you wanted to make sure its to his liking. And also you wanted to invite Heesung to Jeongin's birthday.
It was going to be a surprise one, so you wanted Heesung to distract him anyhow, from going to your home that day.
At Least until 5:30 as you'll have everything ready by that time.... But he thought you...were...cheating on him. Oh how could he even think of that ?
" Don't lie to me yn, I know you've been crushing on my best friend, Heesung, since a long time."
" You know what leave me actually" "It'll do us both something good "
" Crushing on Heesung ?" "Since when did he think that I am crushing on his best friend ?"
You muttered to yourself.
Heesung is nothing but like an older brother to you and an amazing friend. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Another notification popped up on your phone. You got up again from your seat, to pick up your phone that you threw away at the other end of the couch. It was a text from Chan.
Tumblr media
You read the messages but decided to not reply to them. It's been 4 days since the fight. And your pride will always get in the way to even bother to message him. After all it wasn't your fault he assumed such shitty things about you.
Still, your heart was not made of steel. There was still a soft spot behind it that was missing him, your boyfriend. So reluctantly, you picked up the phone again and replied to the message.
Tumblr media
Grabbing your coat from the hanger, you stepped out of the house around 7:45. The breeze outside chilled you to the bones.
So you tucked your hands inside your coat pockets. You missed the warmth of your boyfriend's hands.... Sighing, you put your head down and walked through the path to the cafe....
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
A familiar scent of freshly ground coffee beans greeted you as you opened the door of the cafe.
Chan was already waiting at the corner table and waved at you when he saw you walking through the door.
"You're here!"
"Sorry to make you wait." you smiled at him.
"I've already ordered your usuals, they should be here soon" He nervously smiled.
"Thank you Channie '' You replied, shifting your gaze suddenly to look at a couple on the right of your table.
Reading your expressions, Chan cleared his throat and spoke " So, umm, about Jeongin.."
" Right, how's he ? " You nervously replied as you fidgeted with your hands.
"Not good, '' Chan replied.
" He still doesn't talk to us or reply to our messages, let alone come out of the room"
You sighed, taking a sip from your cup of coffee
"We had an argument"
" Four days ago... " you replied to Chan, who nodded in understanding.
"He thought I was cheating on him..."
"What ?" " How could that boy even think of that..." He huffed in annoyance.
"I was planning his birthday party with Heesung"
" So I met him at another cafe a few times and discussed the surprise plan"
" Apparently he followed me one day and saw that I was laughing and talking with Heesung"
" And that idiot assumed the worst ?" He sighed and touched his temples.
"Seriously, I really have to talk some sense into him..."
" There's no point anyways..." You took a deep breath to calm yourself.
" He has changed..."
"No he's not,"
" I know him since long enough, so I know he's not changed..."
And Chan indeed knew him long enough to know that he's sulking, regretting all his life decisions...
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
Jeongin was tossing and turning in bed. Not a blink of sleep in his eyes. He felt frustrated, angry even.
How the heck can he even accuse his girlfriend of such a thing. She has been nothing but a wonderful girlfriend to him all year.
She was his sunshine and he was her smiley boy. How could he even think that Heesung and you were cheating behind his back ?
He muffled his screams into the pillow as tears streamed down his face.
He confronted Heesung that same day... Heesung was shocked, explaining to his friend, they had been meeting for a surprise party planned for him.
He was too ashamed to go back to your house now. Too ashamed to tell the members that he fucked up.
So he found his escape behind the closed doors of his dorm room. And that's where he's been camping, since the past three days....
He regrets everyday the things he told you that day. He was really stressed since the past weeks for the upcoming comeback.
He was so exhausted to the point of slacking in practices. The routine was killing him mentally and physically.
He was depressed, maybe...he thought. However, that didn't give him the right to lash out at you.
But when he saw your texts last week with Heesung with the code word - " Don't Tell Jeongin 🤫''
He was hurt, shocked even. Something in his mind told him to follow you and so he did... He watched you get all giggly with Heesung.
"Why do these two look so good together? ''
He angrily muttered to himself. He couldn't take it anymore. He left the scene, heartbroken…
Since that day he's just sleeping and practising everyday. He didn't even want to eat but when the members called for him collectively, he just sighed and came downstairs and ate.
When he finally got an off day to came home, he immediately packed his stuff and left for your house.
Seeing you coax him for a therapist snapped something in him as the next thing you know, he was spitting fire at you with his harsh words.
Oh how he thought you were cheating and even thinking of breaking up with you.
He left the scene before you can tell him what happened....
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
" How about you two talk it out with each other, tomorrow before midnight strikes ?" Chan asked.
" What do you mean ?" You curiously replied.
" I mean I'll slap that idiot out of bed and talk some sense into him"
" Then you two can meet at a designated place, and can talk it out wholeheartedly ?"
He let out a nervous chuckle, unsure of what you'll reply.
" That's not a bad idea, actually, but the pain is still there Channie, '' You sheepishly smiled at him.
" I don't think I can handle another argument, if it comes to that..." You buried your face in your hands.
" I thought he was the love of my life, but now...I don't know anymore... "
" Hey, hey, its ok YN if you don't wanna do this '' Chan reassured you.
'' But remember it's 27 hours to strike midnight 8 Feb."
" And I don't want to get your first birthday as well as your first anniversary with him to get ruined."
" But if you don't want to do anything I'll understand and make him understand too "
" Because at the end, it's up to you to, as you're not the one in the fault.."
You sat back and pondered a little over your thoughts. Talking out your differences is actually a very great idea, as you two can decide whether or not it's good to stay together again.
But the hiccups of something bad happening plagued your mind again and you massage your temples in frustration
" You know what Channie ?"
" Mhm ?" Chan replied.
" I'll let you know by tomorrow morning ?"
" That sounds good " Chan beamed as he packed his stuff from the table.
" Leaving already ?" You asked.
" Yes I have to prepare something for tomorrow.."
" What do you mean ?" You asked in confusion.
'' You'll know if you say yes " He smiled as you two waved each other goodbyes....
Hurriedly, you stepped foot into the house. The bitter cold biting your bones and everything underneath.
You immediately turned on the heater and removed your coat. You sat back on your couch and took a deep breath.
" Is it really worth to talk about it ?" You muttered to yourself.
" He was the best I had, but after what happened 4 days ago..."
" I don't know....uggggh!!"
You cried out in frustration wondering if you can face him again.
" But like Channie said, it doesn't hurt to get closure..." You thought.
" We can talk out our differences and if he still stays the same..."
" I will..." " Leave him" You shivered at the thought.
Thinking of the worst, yet still determined to get closure, you picked up your phone and messaged Chan.
Tumblr media
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
" Hyung it's 6 in the morning, let me fucking sleep! Stop knocking please!!!" Jeongin screamed as he heard continuous knocks and kicks at his door.
" Not until you come out!" Chan screamed.
" I'll keep kicking the door Jeongin!! ''
Chan never called his sweet maknae by his name. It was always Innie or something sweet. So when Jeongin heard his name, he knew it was serious.
"Fine! If you don't open the door, you might lose your only chance to see yn again.." Chan screamed.
Hearing those words, something stirred in him and he hurriedly opened the door....Chan was shocked to see his condition. His hair was dishevelled, there were bags under his eyes as if he hadn't slept for days...he looked so weak, so tired.
" Oh My God..." Chan gasped as if he just saw a ghost. " Innie...I..my god"
" I know I look like shit Hyung '' Jeongin huffed.
Tears suddenly started brimming his eyes, as he looked down at the floor.
" I fucked up hyung " "I..I...lost yn, my love..." He cried.
" Hey it might not be so late, she still hasn't left Seoul yet..."
" Her flight to go back to her hometown, tonight is at 9:30 pm"
" We still have a lot of time to make it up to her" Chan reassured Jeongin.
" Hyung, I don't think...she will take me back" Jeongin spoke in between his sobs.
"Tell me Innie, do you love her ?" Chan asked calmly.
" More than I love myself"
" She means the world to me, she's the sweetest and kindest human being and I am so so lucky to have her" Jeongin wiped his tears as he spoke.
" Then why don't you show her ?"
" Show what ?" He asked curiously.
" That how much you love her, how much she means to you and what you will do to never break her heart again"
A light bulb sparked in his head as Chan spoke to him about the plan... He nodded and agreed to everything.
" Let's get you a makeover first and some fresh clothes"
Chan spoke as he covered his nose playfully
" You kinda smell ngl"
" Shut up!" Jeongin punched Him playfully in the stomach as Chan laughed.
" So the plan's set, lets call it, 23 Reasons, Why I Love You "
"You're so cheesy Hyung " Jeongin rolled his eyes.
" Hey someone has to be the romantic one here " Chan chuckled.
" You're right, Let's do this!"
Jeongin smiled with a newfound determination in his eyes as they both stepped out of his room to the living room.
" What, Jeongin did what ?! " Minho glared at Jeongin as he heard what happened from Chan.
" Yes my boy, you seriously fucked up " Hyunjin spoke soon after.
" I know that Hyune " Jeongin rolled his eyes.
" We came here to ask for your help not to listen to the obvious "
" What's with the attitude ?" Minho asked him in annoyance.
" Sorry, I am just so nervous, I don't want anything wrong to happen. Please hyung.... "
He pleaded to Minho, with his big doe eyes.
" Ugghh fine, Innie" Minho sighed,
" Just don't ever do this to them again "
" I promise it will never happen again."
" I will turn a new leaf "
" Then I'll bring the dishes by 5 then while its still hot."
" And I'll find some time in between the breaks to paint something before 5" Hyunjin spoke after minho.
" Right, practice..." He sighed,
" I missed out on so much for 4 days "
" Don't stress, we've convinced our manager for two more days off for you so that you can be with ynnie tomorrow and the day after..." Minho smiled reassuring him.
" Really ?" " You're a lifesaver hyung "
" Just don't think this will happen everyday " Minho snickered,
" My favours are only valid for limited hours of time"
" Understood!"
" Now go get some facials or something, you look horrible"
Jeongin gasped at Hyunjin's words.
" Ughh rude Hyune "
" What ? I spoke the truth " Hyunjin rolled his eyes.
" Fine I'm going with Channie hyung"
" Please keep the things ready before I return, I request"
" Don't worry, we got you bro! " Han replied as he arrived.
Jeongin whispered a thank you to everyone before leaving with Chan...
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
Meanwhile, you were throwing away every cloth you can find in your closet.
" Uggh, I look ugly in this " You cried.
" Nooo, this makes me feel bloated "
You were frustrated. You were trying on dresses for an hour but nothing seems to fit you.
" I don't have time for shopping " You cried to the thin air in frustration.. Just then, right on cue you heard a knock on the door. Cautiously you opened the door...
" Delivery for YN/LN ?"
" Yes that's me " you replied.
" But I didn't order anything ?..." You asked confused.
" Mr. Jeongin told me to deliver this to you "
" Ahhh, I see " You now understood what this is for. You thanked the delivery man and took your parcel back to your room.
Eagerly, you opened it and gasped.... It was a beautiful blue and white themed outfit, curated for you.
There was a beautiful blue knitted dress, a white coat, white boots and a cute blue bag. There was also a note attached to it.
'' Please let me make it up to you, one last time "
" Meet me at 5:30 there... J "
You smiled when you read his initials.
You gasped when you realised you're blushing.
" Ugh, YN'' You slapped your cheek. " Get it together, it's just a talk with him, not a date..." You sighed and stared at the box of clothes, contemplating if you should wear it..
" Fine, I'll wear it, I guess. '' You quickly wore your outfit on and did your makeup. You heard the alarm suddenly indicating its 5 now.
" Shit, I should leave now, or I'll be late"
Your uber arrived minutes after, and you reached the hotel. You took a deep breath as you stepped inside the vast doors of it.
" Hi, I am a guest of Mr. Jeongin ? Room no 23, I suppose"
You nervously spoke to the lady, at the front desk. She checked your name and your ids. After checking everything, she smiled and director you to the elevator.
Thanking her, you entered the elevator and pressed the buttons. It was on the 7th floor. As every floor passed by you, your heart beat increased. The dread of something worse happening hurts your chest so bad. You cursed yourself for overthinking so much.
The doors opened and you were greeted by a long corridor. You stepped out and walked to the end of the passage. There it was Room No. 23. You took a deep breath and opened the door....
𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒𓂃🦋
It was pitch black inside, as you turned the knob and entered
" Jeongin ?" You called out to the thin air, but to no answered.
" What the hell! Am I in the wrong room ?" You muttered to yourself... Confused and somewhat scared of the dark you decided to leave when the door suddenly shut in front of you, covering you in pitch black darkness.
You panicked and tried to bang on the door when a text popped up
Innie💕 : Look behind
Still half confused, you turned around and gasped....
There was a beautiful trail laden with candles and pink roses that led to the bedroom...
You were surprised yet curious. So you followed the path...
Every step on the floor had something written -:
🌹You're the most beautiful woman in the world🌹
🌹The kindest and sweetest🌹
🌹So lucky to have you🌹
🌹So proud of your accomplishments🌹
🌹You're my best friend🌹
🌹I am so sorry🌹
And then the last one,
🌹Please give me another chance🌹
You took the last step and reached the bedroom and looked up and gasped again....
It was beautifully decorated with balloons and floral wreaths everywhere. There was a heart made with roses in the middle of the bed There was also something written in the middle of the heart, with flowers and twigs -
" I love you to the moon and back" You giggled seeing it.
"Innie ?"
You called out, but there was no one... You looked around, there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers on your left..
." Lilac and pink roses" your favourite, you thought. There was also a tray of your favourite food laid out, closed off with a transparent lid so that it stays warm.
"Mandu, Katsu rice and Jjajangmyeon ?" You giggled. There was a gorgeous painting of you on your right.
" Oh wow, thats me " you gasped.
You thought of how this was all Jeongin's plan to make it up to you. But the man of the hour was to be seen nowhere... You searched for him in the bathroom, the balcony and back to the living room. He was nowhere to be seen. You were lost in your thoughts, when suddenly you heard something....
**I never meant to break your heart, my love**
**But I stumbled down the road, just like a fool
does**
**I let my ego lead the way, oh, how it blinds**
**Now I'm left here searching for the words to
make it right...**
There he was, standing behind you, wearing a white shirt and blue trousers. His hair was brushed out nicely.
"He looked so handsome," you thought.
He played the guitar as he sang again.
**Heartfelt apologies, can't you see?**
**I'm drowning in regrets, oh, set me free**
**Let me show you, darling, let me prove**
**That my love for you is strong, and oh, so true*
You giggled and clapped as he finished his song with a bow.
" What's all this ?" You asked.
He didn't say anything, instead he held your hand and walked you from the bedroom to the bed. Confused, you tagged along... He motioned to sit on the bed as he sat himself. He then finally spoke...
" YN, I am truly so sorry for what I have done..."
" Will you please give me another chance ? I beg you "
" Jeongin, I understand that you're sorry but the words you told me that day hurt me so badly and honestly...I don't anymore"
You sniffled a little as you looked at him..
" YN, I am so sorry..."
" I don't know what came over me that day. '' He looked down as tears clouded his vision.
" The stress of the comeback burnt me out so much everyday..."
" The stress was too much to bear "
" You could've at least told me that you're suffering so much " you replied.
" Last week, when I was home and saw you giggling on the phone... I couldn't help but be curious, so as you left to shower, I went through your phone and saw the messages.."
" There it was, messages exchanged between you and Heesung, to meet that evening"
" And a - Don't tell Jeongin! at the end "
" When you told me, you're going shopping, my heart broke..."
" You were lying to me, I thought " " So I followed you and saw you there, at the cafe"
" Giggling and blushing with Heesung, my friend"
" My heart to shattered to pieces..."
" Everything I had, I was losing it..."
" I lost myself, I was lacking at work and now you..." He broke down in tears.
" Innie, I had no idea this is how you felt, I'm so sorry. "
" No, I'm the one at fault"
" I was so clouded in my head, overthinking everything and I assumed the worst..."
" I started slacking at work after that, didn't eat, didn't sleep much"
" The members were disappointed in me " And then when you told me to go see a therapist..." He spoke in between sobs...
" I don't know why, Something broke in me.." "
I thought I am a failure and everyone wanted to get rid of me..." you squeezed his hand to reassure him...
" Innie, these meetings were just for planning your surprise birthday party"
" I couldn't hold it any longer that day." " I snapped at you, telling you we should break up..." He buried his face in his hands.
" Innie please don't cry, its not your fault...I shouldn't have lied to you, I am really sorry " You replied.
" When I called Heesung that day " He continued, after wiping his tears.
" I realised I fucked up so bad"
" It was all planning for my birthday"
" I felt so ashamed of myself. I thought you will never want to see my face." You wiped his tears with your hands.
" So I hid in my dorm room and didn't get out untill today...."
" I am truly so sorry ynnie, I hope you can forgive me one day.."
"Innie " You held his hand.
" I am so sorry I have made you feel like that " He looked back at you,
" Before you leave for your flight, let me make it up to you, one last time ? "
" My flight ? " you asked confused.
" Yeah it's at 9:30 right ? Channie hyung told me"
" But I don't have any flight, I'm not going anywhere... "
" But Channie hyung...Oh "
He realised it was all a plan by his Channie hyung to get him out. He looked at you with hopeful eyes.
" So you're not going anywhere ? " he asked.
" No " you replied.
Suddenly, he hugged you tightly. You were surprised by this but melted in his arms as he held you tight. You missed this. He smelled of the familiar cologne you loved so much. It felt like bliss, like old times....You two pulled away after sometime.
" If you're not going then let me show you, How much I love you"
" Let me show you 23 Reasons why I love you "
" Why 23 " you chuckled.
He cupped your face in his hands.
" 23 is a very significant number in our relationship."
" 5:23 was the time we met on the 8th of Feb an year ago."
" It was on the 23th of March that I asked you out to be my girlfriend. We've been together since 321 days, 2 hours and 23 minutes"
" Oh my gosh, you remembered ?" You smiled.
" That's not all, I promise you that I'll be the best version of myself "
" You make me complete yn and I wouldn't have it any other way "
" You're the most kindest and beautiful person in this whole world... " "I am so so lucky to have you "
Tears streamed down your face as you smiled at him. He's very sincere this time, you thought. Suddenly he went down on one knee
" Will you, my sunshine, make your smiley boy happy again for forever and ever "
You put your hands on your mouth and gasped
" Oh My God are you proposing ?"
" No its a promise ring actually "
" It's a promise from me to you that I'll be the man, you wished to be with "
" I'll go to therapy, I'll work on myself and be the best version of the person, you fell in love with "
" Innie, what if we fight again ?" You asked, cursing yourself inside for overthinking again.
" I promise to you that I will never raise your voice at you "
" I'll be there for you as much as I can "
" Even if I have to fight with my managers, I will"
" I'll leave the company if it comes to that "
You squeezed his hand.
" Innie, I trust you, just promise that you'll share everything with me, however good and bad, instead of suffering by yourself "
" I promise "
" Then I'll gladly accept this ring, my smiley boy " He eagerly put the ring through your left ring finger, it was a gorgeous diamond princess solitaire ring. It was simple yet so beautiful. You widely smiled as you looked at it, glistening in your finger.
Grabbing him by his neck you kissed him. He melted as your lips touched his, he deepened the kiss as if you two were longing for this. Both of you giggled as you pulled away slowly, breathless.
" Woo-hoo " There was a pop and clap sound as you looked at the living room. All the skz boys were standing there smiling as you two pulled away.
You were a little embarrassed thinking of how long were they watching you two.
" Congratulations you guys, so happy for you " Chan beamed.
" I knew it, he can do it! " Minho exclaimed
" Did she like the painting and the song lyrics ? I wrote them!" Hyunjin spoke from behind.
" I bet she did!" Han high fived Hyunjin As he spoke.
" Seungmin, are you crying ?" Felix asked him, shocked " Shut up, I am just happy for these two " Seungmin replied. " Yes, very happy " Changbin wiped a tear in his eyes ith his thumb.
Both of you smiled as you looked at the scene. He held your hand as both of you walked to the boys, who were smiling and cheering for you.
A new beginning has started for you. With his hand in your hand, a new promise has begun to keep the relationship going.
No matter what comes, you two are in it together, forever and ever!

As a writer, can you see the appeal of self-shipping? I don't mean to be negative, but I just don't understand that concept. Like, I just got block because I wrote fics about Endeavor/Hakws and Sukuna/Yuuji by my group of fics writers.
Before I was blocked some member criticize me by saying "how could you ship age gap like that, that is wrong in so many way". And I answered, "at least better like me than wrote self shipping like some of you guys. Gojo/reader and Sukuna/reader is just weird in so many ways". Then I was blocked.
Do you think I'm wrong?
Idk if this will answer your question, anon. I hope it's not too rambly and at least a bit helpful.
I have never considered self-shipping from the perspective of being a writer, but that makes sense to me, I only write things that I want to read and can't find, or not find enough of.
And self-shipping doesn't appeal to me as a reader. The second person makes me uncomfortable as a pov, possibly due to my history of abuse. My abuser very often assumed what I must've thought in a given situation and berated me for it and didn't accept me telling her what I actually thought. The second person pov feels too much to me like a stranger trying to tell me what I'm thinking.
This is also why I hate people policing ships in any way, because it’s always assuming what is in a stranger’s head based on confusing discomfort and lack of understanding with morality, and often based on some strange inability to separate fiction from reality. It's very far right fundie coded.
As much as a lot of stuff doesn't appeal to me, including self-shipping and several other things, some of them generally uncontroversial, it doesn't have to appeal to me because people enjoy whatever they enjoy and I can't care less about it. If it makes me uncomfortable like the second person pov or abo or real person shipping, I just avoid reading it. And I also don't have to understand why it appeals to people, it's their thing. 
Nowadays I try not to tell people that they are weird or wrong for doing stuff that is a personal preference. Shipping or most other fandom activity isn't activism or a reflection of someone's character but a personal preference. It only turns into a mark of character when people use fandom to express or try to hide their bigotry. Or use it as an excuse for actual harassment. 
Basically it's okay to find things weird, or react with discomfort. But I've learned to interrogate my repulsion or discomfort. And often it stems from internalised societal or cultural bull shit, that is about policing people and trying to fit everyone into some artificial norm. It doesn’t mean that understanding the roots of your reaction must lead you to liking the thing, but it might help you remove the value judgement. One of the best skills to have is: thinking “this is not for me” and moving on to things you actually like. I’m working really hard on honing this skill. 
For me it’s very freeing to just accept that everyone experiences the world differently and has different needs and as long as their need isn’t to harm others then it’s okay not to understand them and just say okay and move on. You can’t have all the experiences, a lot of stuff people will talk about will never be relatable because their life experience is so incomparable to yours. It’s best to accept that understanding everything and everyone is impossible but also unnecessary.  You don’t need to give everything your mental energy.
As to the person blocking you. Good riddance, they will thankfully not expose you to their shitty opinions anymore. They acted in a shitty way towards you and then couldn’t take a strong reply from you. I’m of the opinion that one should only start shit if they are ready to get the same kind of energy back. I feel no sympathy for them.
Also I’m a huge supporter of blocking people, I block at least one person every time I go into the JJK tags. Either for tag spamming or not tagging so my tag blocking doesn’t work, or just for shitty opinions so I don’t have to see them and sigh.
And their opinion is shit because shipping isn’t wrong or problematic, it’s just people imagining things. What's problematic in the JJK fandom is the racism, the misogyny, the transphobia, the harassment, the graphic vitriol towards the author and so on.

Get to know you- Sims Style
I was tagged by @simbury
What’s your favorite Sims death? -- I find it incredibly entertaining that sims can spontaneously combust if they get too warm.
Alpha CC or Maxis Match? -- mix, but ig it leans towards realism nowadays.
Do you cheat your sims weight? -- not that I can think of. sometimes if I am shooting a specific scene and they weren't that shape at the time. but not during gameplay.
Do you move objects? -- absolutely. I'm incapable of decorating without moveobjects on honestly.
Favorite Mod? -- uhm... I guess the 3t2 traits project or ACR/Romantic Standards.
First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack? -- I have been playing ts2 since it literally came out, so my first ep was whichever one came out first. I think that was Uni? but in spirit of the question, for sims 4 I only bothered downloading the game when they came out with cottage living lol.
Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing? -- aLIVE. my brain always said essentially like a movie set "and we're live!" so.
Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? -- Evren Thorne (who you're more likely to see in @luverofralts or @nappe-plays-the-sims game than mine) because he's not story relevant yet, or (much to everyone's chagrin) Callum
Have you made a simself? -- at some point far in the past, yes. I do not have that sim anymore, and I probably wouldn't do it again, but yk. I was also 11 when I started playing this game, so of course I made a digital barbie of myself. (not to say it's childish to do in and of itself, but that it's definitely something that every child tends to do)
Which is your favorite EA hair color? -- since ts2 only has 4, I'm going to assume this was more ts4 centric. in which case I like the neutral blonde/light blonde colors (the two that are less yellow)
Favorite EA hair? -- eh. for ts2 I wouldn't use any of them. for ts4... the mullet thing from werewolves? ig.
Favorite life stage? -- teens or young adults. (I think I may be the only person I know how actively likes Uni for ts2 the most lmao)
Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? -- oh. both. depends on my mood.
Are you a CC creator? -- yeeeup. recreationally though. (read: with no real consistency.)
Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad? -- I feel like I do lmao. I at least hope they feel the same LOL.
Do you have any sims merch? -- I now have a gameplay guide for the original Sims game lol. but I think that's all I own.
Do you have a YouTube for sims? -- nope. I uh... don't like watching gameplay videos, and sims machinema is way too time consuming to make so I do not.
How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing? -- oh gosh. I was one of those edgy emo kids so it was a lot of grunge and dyed hair and bright makeup. I've honestly been leaning a bit more towards that style again though so....
Who’s your favorite CC creator? -- depends on what I'm looking for. tbh a LOT of the CC I have now is older stuff that I just still like. but anyone who isn't exclusively making 4t2 stuff is probably someone I've downloaded from.
How long have you had Simblr? -- technically this blog since January 1st 2020. that being said, I moved from LJ to simblr in like.... idk, 2012? whenever that great migration happened.
How do you edit your pictures? -- a lot of photoshop. color correction, a slight film grain at the very least. most times I also do aesthetic edits to hide clipping, and add painted hair strands nowadays. if I can't get an emotion right for a screenshot, I edit those too.
What expansion/ gamepack is your favorite? -- for ts2 I really don't think I could pick one. the problem is I use like 90% of them for SOMETHING gameplay wise, even if I don't use the main function. ie: I love the chemistry/attraction from nightlife, even though the whole downtown thing is frankly annoying sometimes (do YOU WANT TO GO DOWNTOWN? no, random townie I do not. ) But, seeing as I listed it earlier, I guess university.
Tagging uhm.... @rebouks, @pralinesims, @luverofralts, and @nappe-plays-the-sims

Hi Rosie, how are you doing these days? I see you less on my timeline so I hope you’re doing okay and being busy with life! I have a sudden moment of nostalgia tbh because I miss the fun days in the Jikook tag rn 😥 I’ve been following your blog since the beginning, along with @kanmom51 and a few others and it feels like nowadays it’s again discussions about Jikook supposedly being distant and how their relationship has changed, you know, the same circle all over again.. and of course i’m no psychic and we never know but I feel like we always end up in the same spot it’s a bit boring 😩Are there still some chill Jikookers out there? Guys tell me I’m not the only one who don’t get what the fuss is all about 😰 I don’t even care if they’re a couple or not, i just believe their friendship is super strong and don’t see any changes apart from them not sharing much with us anymore. Sometimes it feels like even among Jikook-lovers ppl are waiting for some sort of 'aha I knew it wouldn’t last!' kinda moment.. idk, i find it sad. It’s okay to share thoughts and all about all that but it’s always the same and since the break it’s getting worse. I wonder if i’m the naive and overly positive one sometimes. I’m someone who’s in a long term relationship, with a close circle of friends that I’ve grown up with, i guess I’m blessed in life which explain why I tend to see things positively. Sorry I’m ranting. Maybe it’s a sign for me to take my distance and just enjoy Jikook on my own but it used to be so fun coming here i’m nostalgic. Huh sorry this is a ridiculous rant, i just hope they’re still some people like myself among this chaos kkk I wish you the best Rosie, it’s a bit early but have a nice Christmas if you’re celebrating it 🙂
Hi, anon! I'm still around haha the truth is I'm not getting many asks that are worth posting, I spend more time deleting asks and blocking them than I do posting, it's sad but I'm not entirely surprised. The lack of content has caused many to spend a lot of time thinking stupid things ahahahaah and what's worse, they think it's a good idea to share them. I imagine things will get worse next year after all the scheduled content is released and the other guys leave too. This fandom in general knows how to enjoy absolutely nothing and it's sad.
But I'm still here, I promise!

20 Questions for Fic Authors
Thanks for tagging me @sunhatllama although I only have 2 posted fics so this is gonna be kind of sad
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
2, although I used to have a lot more that I orphaned because I wrote them when I was 12 and was ashamed of myself lmao
2. What is your AO3 wordcount?
2,242
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I've posted things for Spy x Family and The Longing, although I've been sporadically working on something for South Park
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
I only have two but I'll put them here anyway
1.) Happy Endings - My Spy x Family fic about Twilight's mom that I based off of a fan animation. Ironically, a couple months after I posted this, Chapter 62 came out which basically dealt with the same thing lmao
2.) Counting the Seconds - My fic for The Longing, an idle game that I really really love. It's not very popular fic wise though, so it makes sense why it has less kudos.
5. Do you respond to comments?
I keep meaning to, but I get nervous and then forget and by the time I remember, it's way too late to respond. Or at least it feels like it's not socially acceptable anymore.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
None of mine so far have had angsty endings, but I'd probably go with Happy Endings just because there's some canonical character death.
7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Counting the Seconds? It's just me going through my favorite ending of the game and what The Shade might have been thinking.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
No, I don't post enough to get that kind of engagement lol.
9. Do you write smut? If so, which kind?
Nope, I just haven't seen a reason to.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest crossover you’ve ever written?
I have not written crossovers, I like to keep my fandoms separate.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nah, like I said, I haven't done anything notable enough to get my things stolen.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
^^^
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No, but it does sound kind of appealing. I would worry about dragging down someone else's work though since my work ethic is so goddamn terrible.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Creek!! I actually wasn't all that into them the first time I watched South Park, but when I came back to it years later the Post Covid special had come out and the fact that they were still together 40 years later really cemented them in my heart. I <3 old man yaoi.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I have a Creek-focused South Park 60's au that I've been trying to write since June, but I went to work one day with a bunch of ideas and then I left my shift feeling so drained and I haven't been able to get that spark back. I also have a Damianya-focused Spy x Family royalty au based on that one line from chapter 88 but I got too carried away with the planning instead of actually writing.
16. What are your writing strengths?
My roommate (@sunhatllama) says that I conveyed emotions pretty well so I guess I can do that
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
My work ethic :(
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I've certainly tried it before with some of the fics I orphaned, and I feel like it can be fine. Nowadays, I'd just rather have it be like "character said something in a different language". idk i don't feel strongly either way
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Gravity Falls! My ff.net account is still up with them but they're BAD. I wrote them when I was like 10 and I don't remember the account info so I can't go and delete them.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Probably Happy Endings, just because I wasn't expecting a lot of engagement but the creator of the fan animation that I based it off of actually found it and left a comment about it! It made me so happy and I was so goddamn happy when I went to high school the next day lmao.
I'm tagging no one because I have no friends heehee

people you'd like to get to know better game
heyy @smolhours thank you so much for the tag! hope you've been well? always nice to see you on my dashboard.
last song: tere bin by atif aslam (I MISS THIS MAN singing nowadays and his voice. the nostalgia though....is off the roof bc tell me why bollyword don't make music like this anymore)
favorite color: monochromatic, pastels & all shades of blue (forgive me but i cannot for the life of me choose a single colour as a favourite)
sweet/savory/spicy: i'm desi, specifically bengali indian so you CANNOT expect me not to say spicy. (although bengalis are quite known all around the world for the magic they do with their sweets, i'm not a really sweet person. although i do have some favs like rosomalai, chanar jilepi, motichur [not the laddu, this one is square-shaped], patishaptah & of course, the classics - warm chanar rosogolla & misti doi.)
currently watching: yesterday i finished utakoi & it was overall a pretty good show. i liked most of the female characters tbh more than their male counterparts. currently, i'm not really planning on binge watching anything although i'm watching the recent episodes of ghosts season 3 (the us version) once in a while. it's a fun show to watch to make my mood better. (i know many people prefer the og uk version but well, i tried to watch that & i absolutely hated the colour grading and idk couldn't vibe with the characters, sorry!!)
relationship status: single
current obsession: just like @smolhours (i wish i could catch your name, please tell me only if you want though, a nickname will be good too), i'm too very much obsessed with raven of the inner palace, what a wonderful show and what a masterpiece LN series. my honest wish is that i hope it gets the crown it deserves. i cannot believe i've read some people say that the writing is 'shallow'...how preposterous. i had to roll my eyes so bad at such comments but regardless, i want more and more people to discover this series (crossed fingered & praying for a second season!!!)
last google: "is eyedrops poison" because i saw on twt that a woman killed another woman while in prison with eyedrops. imagine how baffled i was when i learnt that apparently, eyedrops, if consumed (by mistake) can be toxic to us. the ingrediant that does the poisoning is tetrahydrozoline. it makes our blood level toxic (?) i guess. now, i use eye drops everyday because my eyes gets dry pretty often. it sort of an allergy thingy (plus hereditary issue) so yeah....need to REAL careful from now on.
(not gonna tag anyone specific, anyone can feel free to do this!)

15 questions - 15 7 mutuals
I got tagged by @mirrorthoughts - thanks Sei! <3
1. Are you named after anyone? Not really. My mother claims she saw my name in the credits of some movie she doesn't remember.
2. When was the last time you cried? Today. I was at the doctor's office and was very nervous about the results of my blood tests.
3. Do you have kids? Nope.
4. What sports do you play/have you played? Used to do Archery but not anymore. I kinda want to get back into it but the hurdles are too much for my mental health right now.
5. Do you use sarcasm? No. Of course not. I would never.
6. What’s the first thing you notice about someone? Mh idk their face? Vibes? If they seem pleasant or not?
7. What’s your eye color? Blue.
8. Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings all the way. (Tough my definition of a happy ending may vary.)
9. Any talents? I'm very good with plants and cats. Otherwise I just know a little bit about a lot of things.
10. Where were you born? Germany
11. What are your hobbies? Writing, reading, video games, movies, documentations & video essays, puzzles, gardening, handicrafts (like assembling furniture, building litte things, etc.)
12. Do you have any pets? Yes, right now I have a cat named Lu but I'm looking to adopt another cat soon!
13. How tall are you? 1,68m
14. Favorite subject in school? Art & German and later Software Development & English
15. Dream job? I always wanted to be an author when I was younger but nowadays I prefer writing for myself. (Wouldn't say no to suddenly becoming a successful author and not having to work anymore though.)
I kinda like my current job (Software Developer) but sometimes I wish it were a little easier. Post office worker seems like a cool job (I already know all the package sizes & prices because I send a lot) but I wouldn't want to deal with people everyday.
It's kinda funny that Sei and previous posters said they want to own a café because for a few years now I've dreamed of owning a diner. I always wanted a cozy place that's open for night owls like me because something like that doesn't exist where I live. Basically all the things that Sei said. 😂 /Sei, if I ever find a treasure map that leads to a shitload of money, we should open a café/diner, hire a bunch of people to run it for us and then just chill with the guests.
Low/no pressure tags for: @deucaleoning, @theloudestnoise, @tipsyjaehyun, @taubenschlag94, @darkmistandodddreams, @the-thorster, @the-parkster

Got any delusions that didn’t see the light of day that you’d like to share? 😉: back when i was on twtrp i kinda wanted to pick up ashe but then. i didn't. because ferp on twt is a nightmare and ashe was a popular character (i was cyril. safe in my little bubble)

i read your comment reply to the "x reader needs to be completely ambiguous" post and i have to say, i agree with your whole statement.
i am a poc fanfic writer myself and i think it is weirdly entitled when someone demands inclusion in that way? the majority of fanfic nowadays gives correct tags (i.e. f!reader or specific title!reader) and is inclusive enough (not using light/dark when talking of colours of skin/eyes/hair, not specificying on body type just saying that are shorter/taller than certain characters)
so I don't really understand OP's whole... rant. and about the whole personality and bg story? most long fics require some adequate backstory for their protagonist a.k.a the reader, so they need a backstory to be somewhat interesting right?
and did you read their PS 2? I have to say that writing ambiguous readers are easier (not easy, just less difficult) on short stories like drabbles or headcanons or one shots. but long fics? it is borderline impossible unless you want to have a boring 2-dimensional protagonist with the personality of a potato.
not to mention writers who write the untagged oc! reader stories are probably young. like 14 15 young. writers at that age are just writing for themselves and probably are new to the whole "writing for fandom" sphere.
idk anymore, I just wanna say I agree with your statement even if I'm afraid to reveal myself bc I'm scared of getting cancelled lmfaooo
i just saw their ps 2 and i personally think they're doubling down on a point just because someone else might not agree with them... ive been writing fanfiction since i was 13,,, im like 22 now, and i feel like what people in fandom nowadays (fuck i sound like a boomer urggghhh) forget that x readers were created as a form of self-insert. you as a reader just happen to have the "privilege" to also read this piece of fanfiction that someone else created to satisfy their own fantasies and thought that "hey i think someone like me out there might enjoy this too!!!"
i wouldn't say their rant is entitled, i guess they're not wrong but also,,, it's icky,, just that something in that rant is icky to me,,, ive seen this same argument over and over again in the past few years and many people have pointed out really good points (i.e. lack of poc rep) which is why i think it's great to highlight and boost poc!reader fanfics so that other poc writers know that they are appreciated in that fandom space!!! which brings me to the part in their rant where they talk about writing about ambiguous readers.
is it easy? to an extent, yes.
in my mind when i write fanfics, they are all faceless, shapeless entities,, but there is only so much i can do with this character that i cannot imagine. what happens when i want to explore certain topics that i might relate to? i can't expect my readers to understand what it's like being a first-generation immigrant in a first-world city, whose home country is now going through a civil war? but does that mean i'm going to not post what i write as an x reader? no! i'm going to post it so that you as a reader can see what goes on in my head, how i see the world and hopefully, that reader can appreciate the work i have put out that i wrote with my heart.
that's my side of the story. and honestly someone not liking a fic because it doesn't relate to them is the most self-centred take i have seen and it used to be a valid argument but now,,,, it's morphing into plain old "what about me?" and they end the conversation at that,,, like why should writers care about you? if you're not the target audience for these fics,, move on!!!
if you are, great! good for you!
if you want to see something specific, open that fucking word document and write!!!! im so tired of seeing people complain and complain without doing anything to change things themselves like okay boss babes let's stop with the lip service and do something with the abilities you have!!! it's going to be the shittest writing ever the first few times but by your 10th or 20th fanfic you are getting somewhere, you are writing the literature you want to see in fandom spaces and who knows,,, you could find your own audience that loves your niche!!!
maybe it's just the way ive been raised but the amount of self-centred individualistic sentiment that has been going on in recent years is so!!!!!! it makes me want to fucking scream!!!! write it yourself!!! do it yourself!!!! im not obliged to write anybody's preferences other than my own!!!!

15 questions for 15 mutuals
I was tagged by @rebouks 💜(My answers are long so I apologize LOL)
are you named after anyone? I’m not named after anyone, but I’m named after this song (Have a Little Faith in Me by John Hiatt). It’s my parents wedding/couple song and since I’m their first kid together (I have an older sister but we don’t have the same dad) they wanted to name me after their get-together song, so my middle name is Faith… I honestly think this is one of the coolest facts about me because I love music and to also be named after a song is a flex imo
when was the last time you cried? A few months ago I cried after I failed to find parking downtown while on my way to a field trip for one of my graphic design classes. It sounds pathetic and insignificant but for a suburban girl with little familiarity driving in the big city and multiple anxiety disorders, it was exceptionally difficult to keep my brain from imploding on itself. I parked in a spot close to the building’s entrance only to find it was reserved for long-term parking and there was absolutely no more parking spaces available, even along the street. So after 45 minutes of searching (and 30 minutes after I was supposed to have arrived) I decided to call it quits and went home… I got myself some bubble tea on the way to help cheer myself up but I still cried in my bathroom with my cat. I really wanted to go to this field trip but I couldn’t because of how inaccessible it was. I really hate driving in the city 👎
do you have kids? Nope, just my cats. I don’t want any human kiddos either. I’ve got many reasons why, but basically my older sister has 3 grade-school age kiddos and as much as I love them they’re a lot of work and I’ve learned over the years that I kinda don’t want to dedicate my life to a helpless person. I want my life to be about me.
do you use sarcasm a lot? I use it mostly with my friends and family members lol. Not all strangers understand how hilarious I am
what sports do you play/have you played? I used to be in dance and basketball when I was a kid, but after I chipped my front tooth in basketball practice my mom wouldn’t let me go back so not anymore. Nowadays I walk but Idk if that’s considered a sport lol. I enjoy playing badminton though; it’s so so fun (just wish we had a court around here; it’s not very popular where I live).
what’s the first thing you notice about other people? Their general personality, I guess. What someone is wearing and how they talk and move really says a lot about a person and it’s usually the first thing I notice.
eye colour? Blue
scary movies or happy endings? I don’t mind a thriller every once in a while but I generally tend to prefer happy endings
any special talents? My special talent is being incredibly awkward 👍
where were you born? Minnesota (US); born and raised
what are your hobbies? Besides the Sims I draw, paint, and write (as in authoring books/short stories you can read). I actually have a website/portfolio where I have my favorite creations if you wanna check it out: https://resplendent.carrd.co/ 
do you have any pets? Yep, two cats 🥰 Lacey, my brown tabby and white girl and Oskar, my fluffy long-haired tuxedo boy!
how tall are you? About 5′4″ or 163 cm
fave subject in school? Based on my hobbies said above, I think you can probably guess that it’s art lol. I took all the painting and drawing classes in high school. 
dream job? A job where the hours are flexible and I’m not staring at the clock all day... Something that keeps me busy all day while not being too hard on the body.
Tagging @simelune @estah @glowbloom and anyone else who wants to do this 💜 (but you can ignore)

Hey the new Ianthony edit? Made me emo as fuck it really had me in my feels very cool.
I didn't see it on the 'smosh' tag? Idk if that's intentional thought you should know if it's not <3 -dot hell anon
TYSM i had so much fun making that one so im glad <3333
ah yeah... that was intentional. old habits die hard i guess? this got a little away from me so i put my extremely long rant under the cut, but tlwr: i try not to tag a lot of shipping stuff as /smosh.
see, i'm not new to the smosh fandom, but i am relatively new to THIS version of the fandom. i came back a couple of months ago but my real heyday was in like. 2018-2020. and we had pretty set rules for how we went about things, and one of the BIG ones was to never put anything ship-related in the main tags (those tags being cast names and the main smosh tag itself).
this was for a couple different reasons; first of all, some of the actual smosh staff was on tumblr (the official smosh blog for one, and i think one of the cast used tumblr at the time?? not sure on that one though as i Cannot remember), and we didn't want them to have to view rpf of themselves in spaces just generally meant for posting about them/their company. like say courtney, for example, goes into the 'courtney miller' tag - there's a difference between seeing a post about her bit in the new tntl and a post about them. fucking ian nasty style. not that there's anything wrong with the latter, just that i am very conscientious about not showing the real person fiction to the real person(s) in question, as was a lot of the smosh fandom.
second of all, not every smosh fan is into rpf. our venn diagram is not a circle. there was a time when i was not a part of the venn diagram. it's why i try to tag every post with 'shipping' and/or 'rpf' when it even vaguely hints at the stuff, so that not everybody has to see it. this isn't exclusive to this topic - i would do that for anything divisive. so, yeah, casual smosh fans scrolling the main tag probably don't want to see my silly ship edits, and i get that!!
since i've returned we obviously have a much different fandom culture - the old smosh blog shut down years ago and i'm fairly certain none of the cast checks tumblr anymore (and if they do and they're reading this: i'd like to apologize and beg for them to block me for both of our sanities). i've also made a few exceptions to my own rule, such as with the incorrect tweets bc i think those can mostly be written off as jokes and the lil au edits though i regret that at times. (i've been considering un-tagging those for a while tbh.) i've also realized recently that the tag 'smosh fic' just gets sorted directly into the 'smosh' tag which is. a pain in the ass. that's not what i said tumblr and you know it. so some of my content has been filtered in there. but you'll notice with the lil clips and text posts i post and stuff i almost never tag it as 'smosh' because. i just don't need people to see it ya know. i've got my people here and that's enough for me <3
that is all to say by the way that the new fandom culture is not BAD. as we all know, i'm very pro-rpf, so seeing rpf out there is great (as long as you know it's not tinhatting etc etc). we also have a very diverse community now with a lot of interesting ships and great fics that i would never have found without casually scrolling through the smosh tag!! it's also easier nowadays to block tags than ever; casual fans can just block the 'shipping' tag and have (relatively) easy access to the smosh tag. so please all of you keep doing you - i'm not your mother and i don't expect you to listen to lil ole me where i live perched up on my soap box. BUT idk if i personally can get over my hang-ups about tags.
