Calling that there was an agreement where Jennie taps Hoon and Sujin taps YN to avoid the whole situation looking nepo baby and WHEN Hoon freaks about it then his brother is just going to frame it as him not trusting him again. The gas light is on people.

Heeseung you fishy little fish. I feel like Hee was probably once a decent guy but surviving in this world is not easy and he has begun to drift away from his previous frame of morality. He doesn’t want to admit to himself that he’s not that much of a decent guy anymore.

Controversial opinion but I feel (based solely on the evidence we have now) like Hoon is actually one of the most morally upright members of that group. His methods are NOT always great and he frequently loses sight of what is important, but my dude generally has pure goals and is not out to wreck people for fun. He is genuinely working for what he has. He is being bullied and manipulated by his family. He is a truly tragic character and fully deserves better. Hoping Yeonjun’s secret twin sister (or something) shows up and teaches him how to love like a human being. He genuinely deserves someone who cares about him. YN did but she was not the right person. Hoon needs a ball buster with a heart of gold. YN had the heart in spades but she didn’t have that pitbull streak that would really be needed to partner with this Hoon.

YN is a genuinely good person and she is strong in so many other ways. Hanging on to her morality and her compassion in that group is not easy feat but she has not bent to considerable pressure (both spoken and unspoken). It makes sense that someone looking to ruin her might need to resort to hiring outside help. Unlike many of the others in her group, she doesn’t have an immediately obvious exploitable weakness. I know she HAS made mistakes before and I fully believe those are going to come back in a big way. The stuff she wrote about Heeseung and the real reason for her fallout from Sunoo…I mean there is obviously something cooking there.

My theories are…that Hoon’s family might have something to do with hiring Jay. They need to secure a connection with YN’s family. It would be smart to have an insurance policy.

But to be more specific… if it is Sujin… Jay is the perfect insurance policy. He just needed Hoon and YN to drift apart, then he takes over the company and uses info from Jay to ensure that YN’s hospitals will be in business with the Hoon family company only if HE is CEO.

I really hope I’m not spelling Sujin’s name wrong. lol. But yeah this series is amazing.

OOH can't wait to see your thoughts on sungjin's motive reveal 🫣🫣 i totally agree with your take on heeseung too !! he's definitely wrapped up in trying to fit in with everyone else when he was once just like jay 🤧 (or, well,, mostly like jay LOL) and hoon def goes about most things the wrong way LMFAO 🤧 but he is genuinely focused on his goals and future !! it's only a matter of time until his family pushes him to a limit tho :(( HAHAH NOT YEONJUNS TWIN SISTER but bro does deserve love 😔 tho i don't think he has the capacity for it rn after how messy it was with mc

hot take i love mc too 🫶🫶 my soft spot for tragic characters and i wrote this story to be teeming with them MUAH and you're so spot on with her because she's got her secrets and hides them WELL 🧎‍♀️ doesn't even let her close friends into her priv because she's actually so reserved for someone who is forced to be a social butterfly

HAHAH *sungjin but you were close and his name only comes up at the top of the screenshot in a handful of chapters anyways !! 😩 and your theories are so intriguing to read 🫣 when we get to the ending im SO looking forward to reading back on these 🥰 also i'm so so glad you like the series 🥹💖 it's always such a joy to read what you have to say !! i hope you're doing well ml and having a great day/night 🫶

congrats on 2k ml! how do u feel abt hitting such a big number? super happy for u 🤧🤍

🐇 have u taken classes for writing because, you actually write like a poet. Like legit the future emily dickinson (fanfic author version) LOL

but did something inspire you to write or perhaps someone? like a teacher or a close friend? and how do you keep up with series and requests because i believe you go to school so juggling everything must be a lot.

oh and what’s your favorite series or oneshots that you’ve done and a favorite quote from your writing?

mine definitely has to be anything from the jtldm series and i encourage people to listen to the playlist while reading cuz OH it hits so good 🥹🥹

oh my gosh you got me blushing and giggling thank you 🥺🥺

I actually haven't taken any writing classes. I think I'm scared that if I put a value on my writing I'll start hating it because that's what happened with most of my hobbies so it's really just practice and me growing into my voice :)

I don't remember what first got me into writing but when I was in 11th grade my English teacher told me that I was really good and that he googled my assignment to check I didn't plagiarize it...which I think was a compliment...but that got me to start taking it more seriously again. honestly I'm probably not the best at putting school first lmao, but I'm not taking that many classes this semester and I do not have a social life so I can usually get by lol

jtldm is obviously a fav but she gets most of the love so I'll say the douche bag jar, I'm really proud of the concept and it's really fun to explore all of the characters in it, I also love writing comedies. and my favorite quote I've written is from poet which isn't even close to done but I'll put it here anyway !!

“I’d miss you,” he says finally, his voice a soft croak. “I’d miss you every time a light changed and you weren’t in my passenger seat mumbling ‘green light’ under your breath. I’d miss you every time I tried to light a cigarette, I’d probably give up smoking if only not to hurt so badly. I’d miss you every time I saw a bird, or a street performer at the subway station. I don’t think I’d go a single day without missing you. And I’d miss you so much it hurt, but never once would I want to stop missing you. Because if missing you is all I have left of you, I’d hold on so tight that my fingers break. I’d forget my own name before I forgot how to miss you, I’d— Fuck, I’d turn to religion if it meant a promise I might get to see you again… I’d miss you, finch.”

and the playlist was what I listened to while writing, so I'm sure the vibes are quite similar

happy new year jordan! i wish you a healthy 2022, with lots of love and excitement! i was sitting here, minding my own business, when this thought came to me. we've seen mls!jin and fs!jin dancing, but what about my main man crystallised!jin and the og dilf tdwa!jin? what are their moves? crystallised!jin went to a lot of parties and oc once mentioned during moam that he should dance with her. also, does the devil actually dance?

christ let’s just pretend this hasn’t taken me 5 months to respond to 😬 I am awful, I know but I’m determined to empty my ask box once and for all!!!

happy extremely belated new year 😭 I hope it’s been a good one so far!

this is such a great question actually! crystallised jin definitely has the moves and loves to dance at parties! but when it comes to devil jin hmmm 🤔 he’s probably not the dancing type HOWEVER I imagine he went out of the way to take lessons for their wedding 🤧 because he’s soft like that and loves his wife very much 🤧

kit darling!! i am finally doing the rounds hehe just saw your tags on my megumi fic, ‘make this drive last…’ and want to thank you so much for reading it!! 🥺

i am so glad that you liked it!! and found it cute and soft!! and that you liked the simplicity of it 🤧 (that's what i was trying to convey!) you are flattering my writing too much again!! 😭

hope you have the loveliest day!! 💗

i'm not flattering ur writing, babe— i'm just praising it, as it and every other writing of urs, big or small, shd be praised 😇😇 hope u too hv the loveliest day, ml 😘😘😘 @shotorus-interact

My friends are so nice.. They always invite me to play ML and they always let me play marksman.. They do know i troll a lot tho,. 🤧🤣😂🤣🥴.. like i ain't serious at all .. But it's such a big role.. I'm always the primary target cause I'm the damage dealer and I'm soft.. They don't even baby sit me when i have 3 heroes in my lane.. That's trust.. so i appreciate it.. hahaha but it stresses them out that I'm too aggressive and I don't retreat 🤧🤣😂🤣.. Dude.. why would i miss the party? I use inspire.. wahaahhaha..

i’m so bored of black haired mls. blondes are on thin ice ✨ same with white hair and perhaps red and blue hair because it’s not THAT common. 🏌️ like… give us brown hair??? there’s soo many shades of brown 😭 you even have hazelnut and it’s so cute? or other colors??? what about a ginger? or pink hair? green hair? it doesn’t even have to be a neon or too strong! like. a soft green or olive or SOMETHING!!! or give us more than one color 😭 idk. we r lacking variety!! 🥺🤧😭and stop with the cold possessive powerful love interest that is actually an asshole and treats the protagonist badly 🥺 idc idc it has to stoppp 😭 let them be normal and decent istg…

Agreed. We need more:

- turquoise, pink or purple haired male leads

- sweet boys with wavy hazelnut coloured hair

- white haired boys (because you can never have enough of them)

- boys who can cook and do laundry. In an era where nobles drop like flies because their enemies poisoned them you can't really put your trust in the shady maids that used to neglect you, can you?

- pacifist and gentlemanly male leads who'd rather stab themselves than disrespect someone else's wife (bonus if they want to become a scholar or artist)

- male leads who also got isekaied but since they don't know what an Otome Game is they are even more lost than MC is and they agree to exchange information/goods and try to work though it together. They also make laws to improve the life of women, because they are straight up disgusted with the openly practiced misogyny there.

- archers instead of swordsmen

- dark-skinned male leads with black hair and brown eyes

- with a very anti-imperialist/ anti-nobility stance

- characters with bi-coloured hair or strands

- dangly earrings

*** omg i’m the isekai anon again 😳😳😳 anyways i found a really really good one!!! it’s called “it’s been a while since the original novel was completed” i promise it’s SO GOOD and it’s less than 10 chapters as of now! still ongoing. the second male lead from the original novel becomes our ml!!!! and he actually has the characteristics of a second male lead too 😭😮‍💨🥺 a softy that became grumpy after the og because of heartbreak and who became a knight??? with curly hazelnut brown hair and he’s buff???? WITH SOFT EYES??? AND SCARS? gruff soft man ugh crying. i love him. also i read spoilers there’s no love rivalry or anything! and not a lot of drama. so it’s not a headache to get through or anything. the protagonist is super funny and also likeable! the “he hasn’t black or blond hair so it was already decided!” (that he was a second male lead) she becomes a love counselor. since she’s from our world her perspective is pretty useful and logical fjfjckcj. anyways it has to be at the top with all of those other isekais i recommended 💞💕🤧 and it’s even nicer that it’s not hat centered around the protagonist transmigrating or anything. and it’s about the second ml getting a happy ending! i laughed a lot so give it a try bestie 🥺

I hate how fast I crumble at guys with curly hair lmfao I'M A MESS!

Okay but this sounds SO fun in how it plays with and pokes fun at tropes (the hair color line lmao I lost it!) and that it's essentially someone giving a second lead character as a first lead? LOVE THAT? But the awareness about it is what makes it sound so good and fun lmao I love tongue and cheek universe awareness!

God soft eyed knight I'm a basic bitch I know it!!!!!!!

I haven't had a chance to check out the others because, to no one's surprise, I spent my week off sleeping lmao but this one has moved to the top of the list! It sounds very up my alley, thank you for rec'ing it!
