i must admit that romance: untold is sonically not my thing but i am incredibly happy for the boys and their musical achievements. but i like to think it'll grow on me like manifesto did! if i had to choose a track, i think it'd be either royalty or moonstruck ^__^ i greatly enjoyed memorabilia though...

currently reading:

WIPS
writer's block has been insane since may, but i have rediscovered the joy of reading after discovering + plowing through interactive fiction games and visual novels LOL i've probably played over 20 now (if you want recs, let me know.. i would be so happy to discuss them with anyone...) granted most of them are incomplete so they're quick playthroughs, but they reminded me how fun it is to just create. and inspired me to continue particular wips that require 1) a lot of worldbuilding, 2) a lot of historical/political/royal jargon and knowledge that i know nothing about, 3) massive plot, or 4) all of the above
jayhoon vampire au
this has been immensely challenging to tackle but also super fun. this jormungandr might never see the light but i am strangely ambitious about this. i've been laughing at the thought of putting "cw: bad jungwon" in the author's notes... the foundation of the fic is very much still bare and brittle, but basically some intentions i have for this is: friends-to-enemies 02z (specifically jake vs. jayhoon) + codependent jaywon + jay's constant internal plight of choosing between duty/obligation and the closest thing to love and autonomy

jayhoon estranged childhood friends + character study (?)
sunghoon is a competitive figure skater forced into retirement and jay was a chef. yes, past tense, because he's dead

wonki plant/eco horror post-apocalypse au
this has been plaguing me for months because it is also supremely above my skill level. currently at 10k but sooo many plot inconsistencies that i have to scrap and rewrite.. not sure what direction i want to take because i was subsequently inspired by trevor henderson's the giants so now i'm conflicted about, well. the conflict. besides the obvious forces of nature trying to kill them
( tiny snippet )
wonki urban fantasy
sigh. worldbuilding... fae research... lots of research.. the only 100% thing i'm sure about this fic is the ending
( snippet )
agony. pain. but can you tell i'm excited about writing though.... i enjoy writing so much!!!
LIFE UPDATES
all i can think about is that one tweet that was about doing something mundane instead of "maximizing revenue" and, well. i am doing exactly that. please do not talk to me about stocks or investments or the future. i bought a strawberry capybara keychain the other day and named it strawpapa. thank you for reading
