i've been very very very loosely keeping up with thecrewone, mainly through their livestreams!!

one thing i hadn't realized until the project group was announced was that...fandom in general waves arm doesn't like atbo???? (and not just because of the ~copying nct~ allegations. idk it was kind of shocking to me because i find them pretty benign. pretty inoffensive, so i was floored by the rather pointed hate.

beyond that.... about thecrewone themselves... it's so weird. seeing some of my fave boys in a group with some of my fave boys should have me drooling and foaming at the mouth and cracking open a goog doc and writing absolute filth but i'm just kind of lukewarm about the whole thing??? neither for nor against??? maybe because i haven't had a ship jump out at me yet. and perhaps watching the show may give me something to work with.

lolll but the show itself... these looooong ass episodes are kind of frightening, tho, so i've been thinking of starting it but doing a super casual, little bit at a time, dip in and dip out, over-a-few-days viewing experience as opposed to sitting down and watching straight through like i tend to. idk idk i'll definitely try to start this week and maybe it will spark something????

oh my wip list is MASSIVE. i don't know where to start.

• i want to jump into the &team tag with some cat hybrid shenanigans. i'm trying to figure out if i want to go ~wholesome~ with it or turn this into a gruesome mafia au. there is no inbetween.
• kinda want to do this gritty, urban fantasy, magic detective thing for 82Major
• friend wants me to hop in the all(h)ours tag with something
• i had every intention of writing something for evnne's anniversary, but..........
• the Candy From Strangers LUN8 au has been begging me for a fucked up chapter three (and four)
• i kinda want to write NTX again??? was NOT expecting such a clamorous response to Dirty Icing
• i've got a m/m/m/m One Pact i've been sitting on. it's comeback time. i need to finish it.
• been threatening to hop in the xikers tag. might give them my ~~romanticized kidnapping~~ au

okay, so i'm basic and don't have a ~complicated order~

i'm always gonna go for a hot chocolate with whipped cream if a place has it on the menu. i just discovered that i love a hot chai latte sweetened with a touch of vanilla and i'm getting super into teas now!!!! we have this hibiscus berry currant that you can sweeten with a squeeze of honey. it comes out this super pretty ~~pearlescent red~~ color that's really gorgeous in a tall glass.

also, i've tried pumpkin spice lattes and i am ashamed to report that i personally don't really TASTE the pumpkin???? or if it's there, it does nothing for me, tastebud-wise.

if you're just getting into drinking coffee (like me three weeks ago), i'd start with an iced mocha latte. it's the taste of coffee smoothed over with the milk and the chocolate, minus the inherent fear that comes with a steaming hot beverage!!
