every now and then my soft spot for bloom and stella reignites, and each time i'm reminded how beautifully the series avoids tropes and favors subtlety in terms of character dynamics and relationships. with bloom and stella, their friendship never started as a trope. their friendship was never motivated by the need to fabricate a dramatic storyline. instead, their friendship started as an innocent and curious fascination that blossomed into something resembling a twin flame dynamic. their friendship stands out because of who they are, how they meet and how they need (and keep needing) each other in their respective stories. it has always been about the characters rather than tropes or caricatures or means of advancing the plot.

—Choi Soobin!
She cupped his cheeks softly, making him look even more cute in the dim light of the room. The only other thing that was distracting in every sense was the mess of different reflections of glitter in transparent components, but Soobin couldn’t be more focused on anything but making sure he wasn’t as red as a rose and the way his best friend was chewing at her lip, so concentrated on delicately placing her fingers on his skin. A very childish yet adorable smile adorning her features. — I told you to stay quiet!
When she called him at 10:00 pm, practically begging him to come for help; this isn’t what he had in mind, nor did he expected other stuff, but surely, being a model wasn’t one of them and his body just had to react to her. To her touch. Because what a big boy he was with a crush he didn’t want to confess yet. After shooting her a playful glare and a huff, he shifted closer. Just an inch, because he really did wonder if she could hear his loud and thumping heartbeat.
Another soft dab at his cheeks, she inched closer to his cheekbones. Her minty breath suddenly grabbing his attention. The way she softly touched his skin while applying layers of glitter was as calming as a breeze, something unexpected for him. — You really suit this concept, Soobin.
Now she was grabbing his chin, her gaze locked into his. Soobin was mesmerized by the way her eyes shined even brighter than the particles she had spread all over his cheekbones and the ones who glimmered behind her in the moonlight. Her gaze was something that always made him flush; the way her round and big eyes just softened and looked at him trough long lashes and a half smile. — I’m sure you’re going to steal a lot of hearts.
She said eagerly while grabbing another jar this time with a blue tint to it, leaving his chin and face to rest for a bit. Playing with the jelly like texture of the glitter, she absentmindedly let her thoughts out of her head. — Just like you stole mine.
Wait.
Wait.
What?
She widened her eyes as she let the thought of what she had just said sink in, while Soobin snatched his look onto her figure again. She was no longer holding the jar but her sweater paws were covering her mouth; her face covered into the prettiest shade of pink, Soobin could ever describe. Is this how he always looked? And of course, he couldn’t let this one go, he couldn’t make an excuse or thought he misheard because those same big eyes were expecting an answer: silently but still pleading to hear something from him.
He did what his brain thought it was best to convey his feelings. He positioned himself closer to her and brough his plush plump lips to her cheek, kissing it softly but just for long enough to feel the warmth of her skin and the butterflies in his own stomach. As he separated himself a little bit, she reached for her cheek, still having the same bambi eyes.
— I always thought I would confess first. — He said while looking for her free hand, gently caressing it with his thumb, he could feel the heat in his face and neck but it didn’t matter to him that much right now, he always wanted to hear that. To feel this.
—Yeah, me too…— She chuckled to herself, as she intertwined their fingers this time; causing the boy to relax even more; her touch was like Midas. — But I guess I couldn’t hold it anymore.
They looked at each other and smiled, just as the clock stroked midnight, a new love story had just started.

thinking again about how truly ancient those hive commanders we fought during seraph were. scourges of the helium drinkers and the ammonites. they must have had tithe lines nearly as powerful as those feeding the gods themselves just by age alone, like incomprehensibly old, and the plain fact they must have been some of the original krill to become hive. we talk about how the books of sorrow are a biased view of what happened back on fundament and how savathûn would twist the story if she ever told it, but how would that history look from those commanders perspectives? would they match that of xivu arath's, since they are under her liege, or would we get a clearer picture of what exactly life was like for them both before and after the royal family's pact with the worms? would they even remember it? and then the guardian comes in and wipes them out like it's absolutely nothing. these hive that have exterminated entire worlds. these hive that are some of the closest to xivu arath that we've seen. these hive that are billions of years old and seen the rise and fall of uncountable civilizations. snuffed out like a candle in the wind. i feel ridiculous for wanting to cry about it, but here we are; overly emotional about some omnicidal space bugs at 1 in the morning

Do you all miss the way tumblr used to be with people sending each other prompts and asks about their fics and just asks in general? Because I sure do!! People talk about stony fandom dying, and I get it because if people don’t reblog or send asks or comment on fics then of course it feels like the fandom is dying!! I think that if we want this fandom to be more lively then it’s incumbent upon us to create a community again!
So what can you do?
Send asks about the fics you like!
Send asks about writing in general!
Send asks about stony and discuss meta!
Send prompts!!
Send asks!!!
Reblog posts!! (Seriously, this is how tumblr works—likes are awesome, but reblogs mean fics and art and meta and everything else gets shared to the wider community of stony fans!!)
Comment on fics!! Authors LOVE comments and many times will reply and start a conversation with you!
Ask for fic recs!!
Create your own fic rec list!!
There’s so many ways to build a community and keep a fandom thriving, but it’s on all of us to keep our fandom alive!!
Fandom only dies if you let it, so let’s all work together to create a vibrant, thriving community!!
