I am so rusty at writing that I hesitate to ever talk about writing things, because I almost never finish them, and even if I did, I'm not sure I would share anything publicly right now lol sob, but I'd still like to try to write something for the KPTS Prompt Fest. So I wish to once again use polls to make my decisions for me! (Thank u all for ur help in the tv poll btw; having a great time w/ Theory of Love & Little Women!) Tl;dr: Help break me out of my decision paralysis and choose one thing for me to focus on writing! (Detailed prompts after the poll)
Excerpts of full prompts beneath the cut.
1. Vegas/Porsche arranged marriage:
Bonus points for Vegas resenting Porsche for being the son his father has always wanted (or in the version where Gun's already dead, for stealing his birthright), and plotting little schemes before their marriage to ruin him and the like, and Porsche disarming him the more they get to know each other. Extra bonus points if Vegas betrays him anyway, just like in canon, but the fondness is still real (for both of them), and makes it hurt more on both sides.
2. Vegas wakes up main family heir: Vegas goes to sleep wishing, not for the first time, that he'd been born to the main family. He wakes up in an alternate universe where his grandfather made Gun the main family heir, not Korn. Gun is not a better father in this timeline. 3. Vegaskinn arranged marriage: Korn strong arms the minor family into a marriage agreement to, he claims, ease the tensions between them, but actually because he would like to collect Vegas and Macau under his roof, like chess pieces or pokemon.
It would be fun if this were set after Vegas's big betrayal, as his punishment, instead of being blacklisted and going to the safehouse, but it can also be something AU/pre-canon. The hilarious idea popped into my head of Korn having already arranged Tankhun/Porsche and Kim/Chay marriages long before he decided Kinn/blood-related nephew should happen. Alternatively, maybe Kim/Chay and Kinn/Porsche as preexisting relationships make Korn confident in his hold on the Kittisawats, and he assumes Kinn/Vegas will be a loveless Emperor/Empress marriage up against Porsche as Kinn's most beloved noble consort. 4. Porsche and Big bodyswap: Cue Big experiencing the exquisite pain of Kinn looking at him with adoration and want, but it's not actually HIM he's looking at, and fighting himself on what to do when Kinn wants to touch him. Cue Porsche having to get along with Ken and pretend he loves doing nothing but shittalking himself all day. Cue Porsche picking up on the fact that Chan is completely gone for him (for Big) after years of Big missing all the signals? Comedy, angst, any ships you want!
5. Tankhun and Kim start hearing each other's thoughts, and can't turn it off. It's actually worse when they're not in the same physical vicinity, they start hearing more of what the other is thinking and worse, so they have to start spending a lot of time together to keep the thoughts calmer and less invasive. This means Kim joining Khun for horror movie night, and yes, he does have to dress up, and Khun joining Kim…on tour? Can he do it? And what do they learn about each other when they are physically separated? What lurks in the deeps of their psychologies?
RAPE/NON-CON WARNING FOR THE REST OF THESE
6. Vegaspete, puppyplay. Vegas makes Pete wear puppy ears and a puppy tail butt plug and bark. Totally up to you if it's noncon at the safehouse or consensual after that.
7. Vegas sex pollens Kinn: Kinn is at a very important professional function surrounded by very important professional contacts when Vegas, who is also at said function, slips a drug with aphrodisiac properties into his food/drink/expensive cologne/whatever. Kinn valiantly tries to maintain his self-control, but he's only human, and before the end of the night someone — or even a team of someones — ends up having to somehow fuck Kinn until he cries while not giving any rival crime families any inkling. (@vegaseatsass note: I would 100% write this as Vegas planning to leave Kinn alone to deal with his situation, hoping he will fail but counting on Kinn superhumanly outlasting the drug, and then getting possessive about it and rushing in to take control the second it looks like Kinn's going to capitulate to unworthy outsiders. Apologies in advance to the anon that I am a Vegaskinn sicko and not a Kinn whump sicko; I hope they get this filled by a gangbang connoisseur!)
8. Vegaspete handcuffed together: Vegas and Pete are kidnapped at the auction. They wake up naked and handcuffed together. Vegas makes the most of it.

For fanfic ask game 👀, 🌝 and 🖊 please!
OMG I ended up writing so much for these that I'm gonna have to put the long answers under a readmore! But short answers:
👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about?
KimKen dubcon interrogation... 👀
🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to?
Weirdly as of late: Chan! - I'm entering my Dilf 4 Dilf divorce era someone give me pre-canon ChanGun I'm begging.
🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.
Chay + Tankhun hours under the cut!!
Thanks so so much lovely!!
✨📝 Writers Ask Game 📝✨
💌Send me one here!💌
👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about?
Soooooo. I there's only one fic that I've actually written up that won't ever see the light of day and that's the 4k or so of the initial ideas and concepts for the KimBig - Kim ended up coming across as more distrustful of Big than he is (because it's Big POV we dont get to see inside his head), and it ended up coming across as a little too "Vegas". While he's rude to Big in canon he isnt actually hugely distrustful; he's banking on Big serving Kinn over Korn to get information on Porsche and the potential mole(s).
I love the energy but it felt very 2-dimensional and I couldn't wrangle the context it to make it work. Plus I absolutely love the emotional vulnerability I've created in the KimBig 2.0 from Kim's perspective - it feels a lot more realistic. I realised if I wanted to use the first dynamic I'd definitely have to make it happen with someone Kim didn't trust at all (cue Ken).
So in short: The rework where it's KimKen - Kim suspects that Ken is the mole and goes all knife-to-throat femme fatale while accusing Ken of sleeping with Vegas. Which he is btw. But that's beside the point lol.
🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to?
Considering the rest of the content of my blog you absolutely could not guess this but yeah! Chan...........? the last few weeks I've suddenly been gripped with a bunch of swirling thoughts about his relationships with the three main family boys, with Big who also grew up in the household and how he's not allowed to pick a favourite bodyguard (big) or a favourite sibling (kim). Plus all the nuances of his loyalty to Korn and interactions with the minor household as well.
Chan + Vegas' dynamic particularly fascinates me! Vegas often uses english as a show of status: to include his family and exclude lower ranking bodyguards who are primarily thai speakers (eg. speaking english with macau at the dinner table, speaking english to Porsche and using weird idioms to throw him off balance). In ep 14 he pointedly says 'know your place!' in english to Chan. To any other bodyguard it would be another layer of pulling rank but Chan is acting on Korn's behalf and completely fluent in english so the effect is competely different, as is his response. There's a kind of implied superiority that Chan is immune to, both because of his proximity to Korn, AND because of his fluency in english. IDK if I've explained that well at ALL but there's something super interesting there ✨ Point being: Chan's english fluency vs Vegas' pointed use of english my beloved.
Also I joke about him and Gun giving "divorced" energy, but I feel like ChanGun has the exact same energy I love from KenBig but with even more hatefucking and complex ranks and loyalties. I am entering my Dilf4Dilf divorce era it seems. Rotating them in my mind as we speak.
🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.
I'm currently reworking the first chapter of my KimChay which starts with Tankhun and Chay bonding hours! Chay's trying to get Tankhun to let him learn self defence and Tankhun is deflecting.
“What-?” Chay says, momentarily distracted. Khun pounces. “Yes! Robots, I helped him build them, you know! It was like a video game! No need to learn fighting when you can shoot with the computer or make explosions from the safety of your safe room! They were so helpful when- Owh. I don't want to talk about it actually.” “When what?” “I’m bored of this topic now, it’s not interesting to me anymore.” “P’Khuuun,” Chay whines, hopping up onto the dresser and trying more and more ridiculous angles to lean himself into Tankhun’s eyeline as he dips and dodges around Chay’s encroaching face. Chay eventually gives up and grabs hold of his wrist, the way he does with Porsche, the way he did with-  Khun startles and tenses, wide eyed, milliseconds from snatching it away.  “Sorry-” Chay starts, removing his hands, but Tankhun’s arm stays frozen in mid air for a moment before he comes back to himself. Chay watches in the mirror as Khun settles his expression, when he’s satisfied he turns to look up at Chay. Level. His smile is soft but his eyes are blank. Chay’s seen that mask before. “It's fine,” Tankhun says quickly, it sounds clipped and strange. His smile is bright as a camera flash and gone just as quickly. “Could you- in my closet-” He frowns, “You should swap the jackets. You forgot one. I picked it out for you and you forgot it and now your outfit is all wrong. Go and fix it-” he clicks his fingers “Pol. Help him fix it now.” Pol nods, smiling at Chay and walking them back through the wardrobe doors. He beats Chay to the jacket and crouches to pick it up from where it was slumped on the floor. Chay reaches out to take it, suddenly desperate to leave and go back to Tankhun, to fix things, to apologise and tell him he was right and that the jackets do look better the other way around. Pol doesn’t let go. “Hold on, he needs a moment sometimes,”
It all ends up ok in the end! Tankhun is fine really!
In my mind Chay has very much latched on to Tankhun as a stabilising presence (which Tankhun has revelled in because very few people trust him that way). Tankhun is able to support Chay because he just inherently understands a lot of what Chay's going through, but because Khun is so overwhelmingly supportive, sometimes Chay forgets that the root of the understanding is that Tankhun is still traumatised too.
BUT it is fine. And crucially after he calms down, Khun doesn't let Chay shrink and go all apologetic and pliant the way he does when Porsche feels bad. Chay is allowed to feel bad for hurting Tankhun without that requiring him giving up all his autonomy and reasonable requests. I think that's a pretty important thing for Chay to learn - and that theme of autonomy becomes important in his conversations with Kim later!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ASKING LOVELY LOVELY EGG!!

How did u get an inspiration for your oc soojung?
Hi there,
This is a really good question btw. So the character Soojung comes from the idea of expanding characters in Fence a bit more; because we want to go in depths into the personal life of characters. I created Soojung as a character that would expand the life of my favorite character Sungchul. I planned her to also be the older sister of him as well. Designing ocs was one of my fav things to do when drawing you get to use imagination and try to blend it in to the work for creativity. Now for the inspiration, not only is Soojung is the older sister of Sungchul but also a kpop idol, so whenever I draw her I would look up for female kpop idols or generally pretty korean girls on pinterest that suited her visuals and style. One of the specific elements for creating Soojung is the hair (for elegance and uniqueness) the most recent and I would say common one I used is actually reference from my fav GL (girl's love) novel I used to read called (GAP: the series) and there is this character Khun Sam (the deutragonist of the book) who has really pretty hair and distinct visuals, which makes me think "Hey I am gonna use that for inspiration because it's frickin perfect." And here I am using that hairstyle for reference. So to conclude, I got inspirations from pinterest, images on google and characters from comics or novels.
Again this is a really good question, since I love talking about making OCs etc.
Thanks for the ask Anon :) and Have a great day 😊
P.S here are the pictures of inspiration I used for her. (Image attached).

Haha hi, jayfoei!mafia anon here! I'm really glad you liked the idea!! I was honestly cracking up at your response and you are so right with everything you added like it would just be so so perfect!! Protective foei and smitten jay is literally everything
Now I'm not making any promises, I'm super busy already with essays and such, buuut I know this idea won't leave me alone so I'm gonna try and at least plan the fic and see how we go. Soo I'm gonna take you up on your offer here and ask you a question (these may be frequent questions if I get stuck at all so tell me if I'm being at all annoying by popping into your inbox ajjsjs). I'm kind of new to Thai media/bls, and like I said don't know much about honorifics so what ones do you think foei and Jay would use for each other? (If you're not sure that's totally fine too)
Hope you're having a great day! And happy Easter 🥰
HI ANON HELLO im so happy to hear from you again!!!! hope you know i haven't stopped thinking about the jayfoei mafia!au in these past couple of days IT'S JUST. SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! so thank you again for sharing it with me!!!!
as i said before, please don't feel any pressure about writing it!! it would be great if you can do it, but real life always comes first and even just sharing thoughts and ideas like this is really fun too!!! either way im here to give you my full support, so please feel free to ask me anything!! you won't ever annoy me and i will try to reply to you as best as i can
im far from being an expert on thai's language and culture, but i did do a lot of research on thai's pronouns and honorifics (it still doesn't mean that i won't make any mistakes though, so i already apologize if there are any) and i've actually already made a post about which ones i think jay and foei would use for each other (because im clearly SO normal about them sjkfgjdf)
to sum it up, i personally see jay and foei as being the same age, so in this case honorifics don't really come into play, or at least not as much as if they had an age difference. i do think foei would use 'khun' for jay at the beginning (so he'd call him 'khun jay' or 'khun gemini'), mostly because in the canon universe jay is still lian's business partner, so there's a certain amount of respect foei feels like he has to show him, and i think this works pretty well in the mafia!au too, because if jay has been in the business longer foei may think of him as having a higher status (even if jay is no longer part of that world)
on the other hand, i definitely think jay wouldn't use any honorifics for foei, not because he doesn't respect him or see him as inferior, but actually because he wants them to be equal and wishes for them to be closer (which is also why i think foei would drop the 'khun' once they get together, unless he is teasing jay)
anyway, the kind of honorifics they would use really depends on how you see them and their relationship, which may differ from how i see it. if that's the case (like for example if you think one of them is older than the other) and you still need the help, please let me know!!
btw if you haven't seen it yet and want to learn more about thai names and honorifics, i definitely recommend this video perth made on the topic!!!

*distant cackling* khunbam and zukka for the ship asks!
hello anon (SORRY THIS IS RLLY LATE BTW) jhasdljf u didnt specify which  questions so here we go, im doing the ones i want to xD: 
i wrote this like a few months ago and now im editing it again lmao im so sorry anon it took me so long it was buried in drafts,,,idek if u follow me anymore but whoever reads this, hope u enjoy ^^ 
what was your first ship, and what fandom is it from?
hmm i think percabeth from pjo would count as my first, but for like discovering fandom content, it would be fourtris, from divergent haha which is actually how i discovered fanfiction (i searched up alternate endings for allegiant bc i hated the ending...and found fics LMAO), but my first big phase was probably more like thg & everlark 
explain why do/don’t ship [pairing]
khunbam: they would die for each other and also make such an amazing team?? (hello wave controller and light bearer combo) and just ugh theyre so good for each other if i keep going im gonna go on a tangent haha 
zukka: i just think zuko and sokka work well together and idk i know like maiko is canon but i dont think they would be very healthy for each other? and just like, idk they went to boiling rock together and like sokka actually tells zuko about yue and jahljdf they’d just be gr9 together 
how did you start shipping [pairing]?
khunbam: at some point i was like YOUR HONOR THEYRE GAY somewhere in s2 i just had the realization like, wtf theyre totally in love 
zukka: after i finished atla and poked around fandom, and i found i really liked the zukka ship 
is there a ship that you used to ship, but don’t anymore?
hmm okay probably catoxkatniss, i think i read it bc a friend recced to me? and so i read a few fics on it but i always felt bad when peeta was made out to be the bad guy or whatever so yea i would say i dont really ship that anymore, and for others i would say i just kinda lost my hyperfixations rip lmao but i still ship them 
what’s a ship you like that most people don’t?
uhh idk, but (forgive me) karoomba 
what’s a ship you hate that most people like?
ehhh i wouldnt say i hate any ship that most people like? but i would say i dont really fancy zutara, but its not like i hate it or anything
what is the most underrated ship, in your opinion?
hmm i dont know honestly haha, maybe daniel & jay from lookism or hangang & jasmine from zero game, tho its prob mostly bc i havent went and explored stuff yet and gotten involved haha 
what is the most overrated ship, in your opinion?
bam x endorsi 
do you prefer [pairing] as an otp, brotp, or notp?
khunbam & zukka otp! 
why do you think [pairing] is so popular?
khunbam: they have chemistry its there!! literally gay for each other from the start i swear and just how they act around each other vs other people
zukka: theres a vid i watched on why zukka is so good but like yeah idk why? i think mostly fandom haha and boiling rock, and i think they would complement each other really well 
why do you think [pairing] isn’t popular?
dunno about this one haha i think most of my pairings r popular? ig prob the underrated ships above i listed, tho that may be due to like again me not actively seeking content for those haha; khunbam and zukka r pretty popular already
rate [pairing] from 1-10 and explain why
khunbam: 10+++ bc i love them 
zukka:  10+++ bc i also love them
sorry head empty no brain 
hyperfixation for these 2 actually kind of slipping now actually lmao rip 
what’s your favorite headcanon of [pairing]?
khunbam: they’re both moronsexuals for each other, hm and wear each other’s clothes haha 
zukka: bi sokka gay zuko, also idk if this counts but zuko talking to turtleducks about his problems in the garden haha  
what’s your favorite canon moment of [pairing]?
khunbam: THE HUG OR WHEN THEY FIRST MEET AND KHUN ASKS WHERE BAM GOT BLACK MARCH FROM 
zukka: BOILING ROCK when they talk about plans and both of them dunno what to do xD
favorite AU ideas for [pairing]?
khunbam: soulmate, artists, coffee shop 
zukka: college au 
realistically, do you think [non-canon pairing] will ever be canon? why or why not?
khunbam: maybe???? very very very slim chance tbh imo ig bc apparently bam will have a female love interest but im not entirely sure about that 
zukka: not really since maiko is basically canon haha 
have you ever written fanfiction/drawn fanart of [pairing]? would you consider it?
khunbam: i wrote poems for them and i have a few wips, so yes i would consider it! it just sucks im kind of losing my hyperfixation rip but maybe i can get it back by writing lmao 
zukka: no i havent, i did have some edit ideas i think but idk if i will get to them haha 
also i am tempted to try and learn to do art but idk if i have the time to lmao rip 
thank u for the ask!! this was actually pretty fun to do, hope u dont mind i skipped a few questions haha

hello! can I request a tower of god matchup? I’m a female, my zodiac sign is virgo, ambivert, INTP, I’m bi (leaning more to males) and a simp for 2d characters. I like anime, manga, webtoon, anime art, action/fantasy/shounen, pastel/neutral colours, fanfics, writing, soft/indie/japanese music. I dislike flying cockroaches, dirty places, school, insects, horror shows.
im a super awkward person when it comes to strangers, I would always overthink about what they think of me and everything, in short I just can’t handle strangers. I’m super talkative sometimes with my friends, I get angry easily but I hide it easily at the same time, though I would always express my anger with my close friends. I’m not smooth with giving affection bc it makes me embarrassed but I don’t mind affection given to me 😗👉👈
I’d be a tad bit embarrassed doe if I’m not close w/ them. I get sad pretty easily not sure bc I’ve only been sad bc of anime, or that one time I failed my maths. I suck at comforting people but I try 😔✊, I crave to make new friends but lol my personality rrly isn’t helping me even on the Internet haha…😭. anyways with my close friends I would use pick-up lines on them as a joke 🥰🥰 it was a phase lmao.
ty for reading! 💕💕 you can take your time btw, I’m not particularly impatient :“)

Hello @astrxrism ~! You can most definitely request this match-up~! Thank you so much for your love and support~! I do apologize it took a second to get this done~! I hope you enjoy this~!

As someone who initially found trusting people difficult, he is surprised when he finally comes to terms with his feelings for you. Though he may be cool and calculated at first, he’s loyal to a fault. He understands your distaste for interacting and socializing with new people for the first time as he himself can be rather guarded until he properly gets an idea of the other party’s personality.
It’s to the surprise of no one that he’s not only protective of you, but someone who stands as your pillar. He loves to be the person you rely on as he’s not as emotional (of course this doesn’t mean he isn’t completely in tune with his emotions.) 
When it comes to providing you affection, he does it in the most endearing ways. Be it gently ruffling your hair, grasping your hand when he feels like you’re uncomfortable, or lightly pecking your cheek, Khun is quite the smooth mover as he finds no issue or awkwardness when it comes to providing you with love and affection.

Hey! Love your stuff btw! Could you do either headcanons or a scenario, whichever is easier, with Ran where he knows Khun likes the reader so he secretly tries to get them together, but he sucks at match making and the reader somehow finds out what Ran is trying to do and just straight up confesses to AA that they feel the same. Even though Ran didn't do much, he takes all the credit for them together..?
Really didn’t know how to write this, had a bit of trouble thinking about it
Had overheard both you and Khun
Talking to different people about who they liked
Heard the same thing a few times
Decides he want to try something
Plans on getting both of you in the same room
And keep your there until you confess
But...
You overheard him talking about that idea to Xiaxia
You thought about his silly plan
How weird it was
Headed straight for Khun
Ask him if they can talk somewhere privately
With her face all red, she confesses to Khun
Who just stands there
Blank
It gets quiet for a while
Khun walks up to you
Whispers in your ear that he feels the same about you
You hug
You were seen by Xiaxia and Ran later
Holding hands
“I’m the reason they’re like that right now,” Ran says.
Xiaxia scoffs
Ran stays as stoic as he was before
I don’t know if I overdid it a bit. Oh well.

if you want: fantasy (generic but hey) / a handful of interesting side characters / nice character designs (mostly) / story has potential but very weak here
Okay, actually? I liked “Tower of God”.
Indeed, it’s riddled with most of the nonsense I usually tear apart without any guilt whatsoever but I had 0 expectations for this. Most of the people who were disappointed by the anime seemed to have expected something. Oh not me, actually, based on the cover art I thought this was going to be as bad as most isekai stuff I review (this isn’t an isekai btw).
So, let’s state that as usual, the only thing interesting about the male protagonist is that he has 2 names for no reason whatsoever. See, this anime was based on a manhwa which is Korean and his name in that is “Bam” literally meaning “Night” in Korean. In the subs, that’s his name but in the Japanese dub he is called “Yoru” which also means night but in Japanese. This is confusing to me because unless I was hallucinating, I’m pretty sure one of the characters was referred to by a Chinese name which by the way isn’t even his actual name in the Manhwa. 
My answer to all this is mostly “Eh, whatever” which is generally how I approached this whole anime. Sometimes, I do want to turn my brain off with non SoL and ToG didn’t frustrate me to the point of wanting to punch the screen (a few eye-rolls did happen though) so that’s why I can’t really pinpoint what was bad or good, it just was.
The main character of previously mentioned Bam is as basic as you can get. Short brown hair, has amnesia and has apparently been stuck in some cave the whole time after he regained consciousness. Yeah, he is the empty canvas with the plot armour and the very *convenient* powers he gets. His only place in the story is tha because he is “untainted” by the problems of the real world, all the others accept and flock around him because he is... positive??? I guess??
Anyway, cue the rest of the cast who actually carry the show. The plot of ToG is that people who live in some...other place in the tower (we don’t get any explanation to the outlay of the world this story takes place in) want to and are chosen to climb the Tower and if you reach the top it’ll be like... very cool. I guess? We get no explanation what’s there or how it works. So Bam encounters 1 smartie pants guy called Khun and a screaming giant alligator looking thing called Rak. Through *spoilers* the 3 team up and they are supposed to carry the first half of the anime exceptttt the only interesting among them is Khun. Rak is a comic relief and the MC is... yeah. After a certain test, the rest of the cast get more spotlight, some background story exposision dumps happen. It’s good enough and I did come to like some of the cast but the amount of comic reliefs was way too much. The most interesting characters are definitely Endorsi and Anaak from the participants and the test administrators. All 5 of these characters are closely tied to the Tower and its history itself which is probably why they’re more interesting than the bumbling buffoons who have no idea what’s going on 90% of the time.
There’re some plot inconsistencies that confused me, like how the first Test is a battle royal but then in another Test when one of the characters is threatening another with a knife, the test admin is really freaking out over it... why? It made NO sense. He must’ve seen countless participants slaughter each other, hell, they MAKE them do it so his reaction made no sense to me. But that’s looking deeper into the anime which you must NOT do under any circumstances if you wanna have fun!
The ending is... very frustrating. Like VERY. And considering that I don’t have time to read manhwa OR manga and I don’t know if they will make a follow up, I’m even more pissed. By the way, this anime is best binged. The episodes cut off at really random moments and the flow of it can really be disrupted if you just watch EP by EP. 
Now, the technical stuff is very dependant on what you like. I personally really like this more simplistic art style with barely any shading which makes the colours pop more. I already liked the OP and EDs before I even watched this anime as they’re by a Korean boy group called Stray Kids. It’s a mix of pop and rap (as is SK’s style, just toned down a bit). I can’t recall the OST which means it was good and didn’t interfere with my experience.
Closing off, if you go into this not expecting ANYTHING and like fantasy, interesting character designs with motivations and can turn a blind eye to certaint plot inconsistencies and kind of unexpected behaviour by some of the cast, you’ll be able to chill like I did. But... I almost want to tell you to skip the final EP. Cause FU****
[6/10] (x)
Recommend: HELL Yeah! | Yes | Eh??? | Nope | There was actual money spent on this

Hello @cuefog! Under the cut is a comprehensive reaction to your responses, just for the heck of it. Don’t worry about responding to it. I’m glad you had fun but it sucks that you had to redo it >_<  THANK YOU FOR ADDING THE QUESTIONS BTW lol
“The Fool: i started with the anime, the first episode was just alright but the second episode started to really hook me in!! i always thought the episodes ended too fast and i was always excited for the next one”
Yoooo me too, I was dubious on the first one but then second came and I was just welp. That’s it, I’m done for.
“The Empress: khun (…sry, i meant yuri)”
No no you’re right, nothing to be sorry for.
“The Hierophant: khu”
No no, you’re right again. xD
“The chariot: bam vs data zahard/jahad!! that battle was thematically gorgeous imo, zahard had that whole solar system thing with his powers, and bam starts pulling out his own 25th bam style shinsu moves (im so proud of him!!!!!!) with the whole night and endless sky theme, with his red-blue demon horns and his wings,,,,, like damn i was so starstruck bam my dear boy you are beAUTIFUL \(*o*)/”
Okay but that whole battle, I think, was a HUGE turning point for Bam’s increase in abilities. The fact that we went from earthen-bound power titles to CELESTIAL ONES just upped the ante.
“Strength: bam!! obviously he is strong in terms of combat ability but mostly i think about this in terms of,, strength of character? the external pressures in bam’s life are very heavy but he’s not the type to run away, and he really does manage to stay “himself” even as he changes and grows. i think that’s incredibly strong and inspiring of him, i could never do that :’)”
I’m sure Bam never thought he could do it either. The thing is, he was forced to. He never had a choice. If you don’t have a choice, maybe you’d surprise yourself with how you grow as a person. ^^
“The Hermit: and also i find myself emotionally aligned with khun very often? when i’m worried about bam he’s also worried about bam, when he’s angry for bam i’m also angry, etc. when something concerning happens to bam im reassured many times because i know khun will take care of bam for me :’) i don’t know if you can call that relating to khun though lmao i think lots of people probably feel the same”
OHHHH GOOD POINT. Khun reflects all of our feelings about Bam. Huh, that’s a good thing to reflect on. 
“Justice: and idk if it’s just me but i haven’t been able to stop seeing it since rachel talked about fate or being a heroine or whatever. bam really does feel like a “chosen one”. the plot just keeps building up and moving forward, and things keep coming together, whether bam wants it to or not. it feels like something inevitable, like “fate” (i think siu does a good job of making rachel seem like bam’s opposite, it feels like shes not really supposed to be part of the bigger plot?)”
SIU is AMAZING at foreshadowing stuff like this. He has a way of--even if he never quite thought of it before--making it seem like all of this was meant to happen in some way. Yes, no one tied to the tower meant for Rachel to be part of the story, but her presence was supposed to be from the very beginning, simply because SIU willed it.
Thank you for this point, it was enjoyable to read it. xD
“The Tower: idk i sort of fell into it slowly. i knew the manhwa was really long so i didn’t really wanna read it but then i started exposing myself to spoilers and i just couldn’t resist anymore so i started devouring the chapters in huge chunks. it was mostly hearing about khun’s devotion to bam that made me really want to see it for myself in the manhwa”
I love that your love for ToG was slowburn rather than love at first sight. :3  The fact that you stuck it out is admirable and shows that there’s tidbits that made it worth sticking with ToG, until the irresistible temptation turned into genuine adoration.  AND I’M GLAD YOU STUCK IT OUT!!!
“The sun: idk im not very good at “predictions” so i just think of “possibilities” instead,,, like maybe the 10 great families will have some sort of split again? that would be interesting to see i guess? also maybe siu will explore yura and rachel’s relationship more (some sort of conflict? idk) because what is yura even thinking rn i have no idea”
Oh you and me both, fam. I really wanna know what the heck is going through Yura’s mind. She obviously admires Rachel, but now she’s seen the worst that she doesn’t agree with. Not the murderous part that Yura wanted to join in, but the severe self-hatred Rachel holds. SIU. C’MON, IT’S KILLING ME.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHT-PROVOKING ANSWERS!!

Ran is picky about his food. He prefers yogurt over food. He dislikes the ones with syrup.
Khun told Baam that he has collected and threw away all the rings that Yu Hansung gave to their friends. So his friends do not have the rings with them right now (only Khun knows where they are).
XiaXia hated Ran the moment she saw him. She is good with spicy food.
Hwaryun wants to train Bam to become strong. It seems that she has said that Bam needs a different type of training to learn to control the Thorn. She thinks that asking for Urek's aid would be a nice idea if necessary.
Yihwa has gained confidence in manipulating her flames.
Yihwa still thinks that Rak is a dinosaur.
Miseng asserts that she is older than Prince. But Prince refuses to tell her his age.
Khun has decided that the other ability of the White Heavenly Mirror is extremely 'dangerous', so he decided not to use it.

When will print volumes come out? Maybe soon to come ^^; But my wrist pain has been getting in the way. Please buy it when it comes out. Haha.
Yuri. Where is she? She will appear next episode.
Why did Bam get a haircut? I wanted him to be back to his bright self in future Rachel-Bam situations. If too many people dislike it I could simply put a wig on him.
Who is a heroine? There have been disputes over it. It will be decided when I get one. Joking. Calm down.
How did Khun get Ran into his team? They knew each other in the family, Khun went and got Ran when he heard they were in the same floor. Ran is helping him because of their past. This will be revealed more in the Khun Family arc later.
Is Maria going to show up? Secret. But she will eventually show up soon enough.
Can we get character profiles? One day... I will post them.
Where did Khun’s Manbarondenna go? Narae is taking good care of it when Khun left it with Isu’s team. She is still with Hong btw.
About the return date, I am thinking of July 21st. But it could be postponed until August 4th. About the wrist, I think I will have to carry this pain with me now. I could go indefinite rest until it goes away, but it will be bad for everyone. Still, I am lucky author, being able to go on.
Next arc will begin after a couple of chapters that is wrapping up the Epilogue we had. Unlike Workshop which is a long arc, it will be a ‘trilogy’ of arcs focusing on the Train and the Hidden floor. Also there is a Idol of Tower arc ready. And the unfairness of the Tower will be told. Meanwhile the ugly secrets of the Great Families will be revealed. Some personal stories, mainly Khun and Rachel will be there too. I hope you all enjoy what new things I attempt to do.

So I'm watching Kiss the Series and I hate half the characters. (I'm on ep13 out of 16 btw.)
There are some characters I like:
Sandee (I love her very much),
Thada (he's cool and a good guy, and I love his tattoos. Dang boy.),
their friends,
P'Chacha (? Is that his name? Sandee's brother figure) (next to Sandee, he's the best character on this show. I love him to bits),
Sanrak's friend whose actor also plays Green from 2Gether (he's great and I wish him all the best. I hope he gets a boyfriend in this series),
Sanrak's immediate supervisor - what's her name. Khun Jane or something. She's awesome.
Thada's tattoo artist friend - no idea what his name is. But he's a good friend and has good advice.
People I really hate:
Sanrak (she's DUMB personified. She annoys the crap out of me)
Sanrak's boyfriend P'First
Nong May (WOW she's got some screws loose - but it kinda makes sense knowing her backstory?)
P'Na's (ex)girlfriend. I hate her with a passion.
P'THEW!!!!!!! I disliked him from day one and it only grew the more pushy/clingy/expectant/stalkerish he got. Woooooow! He expected a lot from Sandee!!
And I'm gonna pencil in P'Na here. I don't mind him but he's also not my favorite.
P'First's side thing Cat. I don't like her but she's honestly not even the worst.
Those are literally all the characters I can think of right now.
So at this point, I'm skipping over pretty much everything to do with Sanrak and just watching Sandee's story. Thada is awesome. And I'm so curious about what's going to happen with Nong May! She's kinda terrifying!

Ikr. Reading line comments make me so mad. Especially the one that say 'ah instead of intelligence, it's more like Khun cant make any wrong decision'. As if he didnt get betrayed by 3 teammates that he chose himself, bitch. (The bitch isnt directed to you btw)
God fucking right? It’s because these are a bunch of people who thrive on the idea that it’s because of their intelligence that they don’t get any good things instead of realizing that what Kun fucking did with the octopus was SURPRISE what intelligence actually looks like? ? ? ?
