the desperation you can feel in hyune's love paintings, how the couple seems to be lost in each other's embrace, clutching tightly to one another.. they're entwined so strongly until they become one and the rest of their bodies fade, the love becoming the one thread tying them together.. i love love and i love how he represents love, my favorite artist <3
also this painting is incredible,, the sheer emotions expressed through the brush strokes and the color choice, the way the body seems almost bruised.. the way the protagonist is kind of sinking into his bed, his head disappearing as he hides into his pillow, the same way you sometimes want the darkness to submerge you until you become one with the shadows and your pain can no longer reach you

i need to discuss changbin's and seungmin's incredibly thoughtful but underrated friendship because i just rewatched their 2kidsroom and omg i feel sick
"i tease you but i know where the line is better than anyone else" seung to changbin,, THIS LINE RAHHHHH, it says i know your personality and i know ur moods and i know when to push u and i know when to stop because I KNOW U and to be known is to be loved ah im sick
"for the first time in a while, i cried while listening to a song. it wasn't because of the lyrics or anything. it was just really touching to watch you sing." changbin to seungmin, oh this wrecked me because seung's voice in love poem was so touching and seeing the kid's reaction to it made it even more special to me AND FOR CHANGBIN TO CRY FROM SHEER PRIDE FOR SEUNGMIN????? RAGHHHHH PAIN X 2
"...so to think you were so devastated you had to talk to me. (seung)
(binnie in the quietest most gentle voice ever) but i told you that because it's you."
no this one actually hurt me because, to always keep ur burdens to urself but then only open up to one person because u KNOW they'll understand omg i feel sick
"when I'm with you, i don't feel afraid to do anything." seung to changbin OH THIS.. THIS IS MY NEW ROMAN EMPIRE changbin is such a reliable figure for all of skz and to know that seungmin loves him sm he actually doesn't feel afraid to do ANYTHING by his side.. i need 3 days to recover

for a little positivity on the tl!!! share your favorite stayblr accounts or fics that you think deserve more recognition (it can even be your own!!)
I'll start!! this hyunjin fic (the world does not exist at night by @hyu7eii ) might be the best hyune fic I've ever read and it's so underrated, just pure poetry
nothing, everything by @inniejeonginnie, very human and realistic, love cannot make you feel better instantly but it is the light at the end of the tunnel and this portrayed it perfectly
X marks the spot where we fall apart by @nicolagreta soo angsty it made me so sad :( like i physically felt it in my bones
on the same angsty note there is marry me by @liknws AND IT WRECKED ME. so beautifully written but in an achy way. very delicious pain
burden by @ellestray and it's one of the most accurate representation of han I've ever read, the dialogue is so mature yet so beautiful. i loved it so muchhh
everything by @sugrlamb THE REASSURANCE IS EVERYTHING IN THIS ONE, i need this specific seungmin.
special by @amelee23 this is different than usual skz pieces on here but it's so heartfelt and raw and the love is very pure in it, i loved it, a very fitting title
the mini love letter series by @agi-ppangx , FIRST such a cute concept, second the emotional rollercoaster from fluffy to angsty has me in a chokehold. (op i promise I'll reblog with my full thoughts soon!!!)
and i need more ppl to read butterfly bandage by @subskz , labyrinth by @soobnny and forgive me for what I haven't done by @rachalixie . I'll never stop shouting my love for these fics they're so perfectly written, like pure art, like i can't believe I'm reading this for free type of writing

i literally was thinking about this yesterday before going to sleep.. small joys really go a long way. i learned this the hard way but, if you spend your entire life waiting for an epiphany where you'll finally experience this everlasting happiness then, odds are you'll never truly be happy..

oki here is a rough draft of the quotes series I'm working on, so I'd actually force myself to work on these
(these will be fics inspired by my favorite quotes or said quotes will be included as dialogue :))
chan : soulmates!au, with a twist "on purpose. i love you on purpose."
minho : pre-established relationship, to strangers to lovers "to love someone is to firstly confess, im prepared to be devastated by you"
changbin : fwbs with so much tension it might explode. "if i kissed you right now, i don't think I'd be able to stop." and "please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it"
hyunjin : art students with forced proximity to lovers. "and maybe if i loved you less I'd be able to talk about it more"
han : enemies (actual ones this time) to lovers. "I'll take care of you. it's rotten work. not to me, not if it's you."
felix : im still not sure about this one, but there are two strong quotes contenders : "for a while it was love. wasn't it? for me it was love" and "i will not have you, without the darkness that lies within you. you will not have me, without the madness that makes me. if our demons cannot dance, neither can we."
seungmin : friends to lovers but with unrequited love as an appetizer. "oh god, please. please. love me. love me. desperation sits heavy on my tongue."
jeongin : strangers to lovers. my fav genre of innie : with a big fat crush. "in the train we swap seats. you wanted the window and i wanted to look at you."

here is the essay that no one asked for because long for you is my fav hyunjin song and one of my all time favorite songs (it spoke to the yearner in me)
first the hauntingly beautiful melody 😭 as soon as i heard the whistles in the beginning i thought of the melancholic chirping of birds that feels like they’re calling out to someone who is far out of their reach, and it just sets the tone for this excruciating nostalgia throughout the song, for a time that has passed that we cannot go back to again.
at the beginning i thought this was about longing for a loved one but when hyunjin said that it’s about ‘missing your past that has lost its shine, and therefore longing for everything from back then’ the song just got more devastating for me, because (imo) this song is about longing for a past version of yourself that you lost and that you had to relinquish and that you never wished to part from, and hyunjin weaved this yearning for someone who technically doesn’t exist anymore so so well :,)
When was the last time we walked side by side
to me this could be about this kind of dichotomy that you feel within yourself when you can no longer recognize who you are and when you kind of lose sense of what you love and who you wish to be. And you no longer feel as if your past selves and your present ones are in harmony, walking side by side, but rather that your present self tries to go backwards to reach for your past self when the only possible trajectory for it is to go forward
In the faded photo, I come across a smile. Spread across a youthful face, overlapped with the seasons.
again with the longing for your past self, clinging to photos that have faded with how much time has passed and yet you still wish for the smile you had, long ago, to come once again. i relate to this so much because there was a time where i looked back to my old photos and i just missed how smiling came so easily to me back then instead of feeling like a chore. a smile that once withstood the changing seasons, but that is now a simple memory
The night’s so cold that it’s almost unreal. I wake up in another silence, and I close my eyes
hyunjin and the loneliness that only manifests at night :(( just like in cover me he manages to perfectly convey the cold and daunting feelings that come with being lonely,, also the act of waking up and closing your eyes right after, as if you wish to wake up in any reality but your own
The white flower we planted together has bloomed. I do not dare pick it. Now it withers away
OHHH this one had a little (huge) kick to it, this verse is just so poetic and so full of emotions im unwell :(( white often symbolizes purity and beginnings and its referencing to a time where your existence wasn’t tainted by anything, to the very beginnings when everything was well, back when you had enough will and happiness to care for something, to plant a flower. and now that flower has bloomed, but you do not dare to pick it because it is the last string tying you back to that time you longed for, so you leave it there, afraid that once you’d touch it then you’d soil it with everything that makes up your current self. but by doing so, the flower withers away, and i feel as if this last line plants a seed of hope, of light in a very melancholic song. that by longing for the past and forgetting the present all you do is harm the flower, harm yourself. that you shouldn’t forget your present self while reminiscing the one that faded away
So I long for you. And I long for you. And I'll long for you. So I can keep loving you. So I could be loving you. And morе.
THIS PARTTTTT!!!! this is The Part that gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes,,, hyunjin’s vocals throughout the song were so mellow, so soft, so tender to hear, yet so melancholic at the same time. but this part. THIS PART. this feels like floating atop the pool on a warm summer afternoon and you are hit by this wave of nostalgia for a moment that has yet to pass, because you know that you will miss this instant right here, and that you might comeback to this exact same pool next summer, and the one after it, but things would have inadvertently changed AND IT’S SOOOO 💔💔💔 especially the part where the music quiets down and all you can hear is his voice and then THE VIOLIN PICKS UP and it feels as if he’s tugging with my heartstrings and he’s harmonizing with himself and it’s all so HEART WRENCHING in the most beautiful way, like this is the embodiment of yearning.
i got carried away but as for the lyrics this part also makes me wanna cry and weep because it’s so full of hope?? of moving forth?? instead of longing for who you were and letting it hinder you, you long for who you were and behold it as a compass to love your present self, because past or future you are you, and if you loved who you were at one point of time, if you were at peace with who you once were then you can and you will love who you are now too. and i’m so 💔💔💔 also him harmonizing with himself ties it all together like the only person you got is yourself and it reminds me of THE PAINTING 😭😭😭😭😭😭
yes this isn’t over yet. the painting. The Painting. THE PAINTING. hyunjin hugging himself, burying his face in the crook of his neck i am too sensitive for this. i am no art expert but i am always at awe of the way hyunjin plays with colors and lighting and shadows, even if you aren’t well versed in paintings you can still feel the emotions hyunjin wants to portray and it’s all so.. special to me. all his works deserve to be hung in an art exposition
Tumblr media
also i feel like this cover painting is the continuation of the one he shared some time ago, they look very alike and the color scheme resembles one another
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i just love how hyunjin writes and produces and draws the covers of his songs like 🥹 i’d never tire of saying that he is the embodiment of art

your daily friendly reminder that writers do not owe you shit. they write for free and they have every right to turn on/turn off requests, delete posts, go mia, not take a request because they simply don't feel like writing it. like this is a hobby and if you feel like you're entitled to ANYTHING when it comes to writers then you need a reality check.
also thank you to the respectful people on here, you guys are rare gems at this point <3

Omg share share share those thoughts!!
these are things @strayingawayy sent me that rank from hahaha pain to omg i wanna jump out of a window
minho who prepares you your favorite childhood dish because he knows you're sad and he facetimes your mom to make sure he gets the recipe right exactly how u used to have it. he'll make all the boys taste test it before making it again for u because he needs it to be PERFECT
minho who stirs awake as he hears u leave the bed and who pouts if u don't kiss him good bye. "BONUS POINTS IF HE'S SLEEPY TOO, eyes threatening to close any second with his blankie still wrapped around him and his hand softly clutching your shirt, holding u back from leaving without kissing him goodbye." sho sent this to me can u believe I'm still alive
minho who uses the cats as an excuse to talk to you when get into a fight. talking about how the cats miss their mom and the house is too quiet and he's stupid for getting mad over smtg so trivial and again u can't abandon the cats and him they can't live without you!!!!
dad minho who (lemme take a deep breath) is so nervous when he first holds his baby girl (i had to copy and past what sho said like I CAN'T)
"minho who first holds her when you're asleep and she stirs awake and starts crying. he heard that skin to skin contact is very important so he takes off his tshirt before gently holding her, almost angry at his tears bc god fucking damn it he just wants to see his child clearly and the water works wont stop"
