as someone who loves both xmen and kpop, your account is so fun rn lol
Are Kuanjui and Ricky the only wolves with white fur in TSOS, other than the backstory puppy?
How much for the Jongwoo x Seongmin backstory/prelude? 💰
Funny you mention that, bc I have actually been considering writing some long (like 15-20k) oneshots for some of the side characters in TSOS to expand on their backstories a bit, and they were the ones who made me think that. I'm not promising anything at the moment while I'm still working on the main fic, but I might start drafting some ideas when I shift focus to the prequel later on!
ah okay, my theory that hui was tael’s mother theory was wrong, okay. i’ll keep thinking about it!
I rewatched the BP Man In Love performance and I can’t believe I’ve gone from barely knowing who Dongyeol is to being like “hehe Taerae singing with the mother-in-law” (also I love Drip Drop so I don’t just know him from your fic either, I enjoy his music!)
This is one of the best things anyone has ever said to me about my fic. I have that same thought too now, I'm like 'yeah, look at the family teaming up!!' And OUGH oh my god Drip Drop changed my brain chemistry in ways I will likely never recover from /pos. More Dongyeol love up in here! Both TSOS Yeol and IRL Yeol!!
Just curious, will the guys who have two names (Ricky / Quanrui, Matthew / Woohyun) ever have reason to use their other name? Do they have their other names at all in TSOS?
No, they don't have their English names in the TSOS verse, I just didn't feel like they fit the vibe of the world and stuff, so we're sticking with their Korean/Chinese names for now. Same with people who usually use stage names, I've opted to use their birthnames instead so there's a sense of continuity in the verse.
i’m trying to figure out who tael’s mother is in TSOS. so, to narrow it down, is his mother a BP contestant born in the 90’s who hasn’t been named in the fic yet?
I listened to TO1 for the first time yesterday and connected something in TSOS, Seongmin is from Magnolia Falls because of their song Magnolia!! Though does that mean Woongki is from there too?
worldbuilding question, how often are heats or ruts supposed to happen in the tsos universe? just wondering if it’ll come up anytime soon lol
Oh my god I can't believe I forgot to mention that somewhere in the fic (thank you for reminding me lol it had literally slipped my mind). In the TSOS verse, the wolves have their rut/heat cycles every three months, although they're stronger in the summer/autumn so a lot of pups are born in the springtime. In this verse, they're not as dire or deliberating as some omegaverse stories, like they can still function and aren't rendered mindless or completely desperate, it's just a part of life for them and most packs have ways of dealing with them to make them both comfortable and as unintrusive to daily routine as possible. Mated pairs may experience stronger cycles when they've first mated (gotta breed lol). Outside forces can also affect the frequency/intensity of a heat or rut, like extreme grief or poor health and malnutrition causing the body to skip cycles, or being suddenly introduced to lots of new wolves triggering an early cycle etc etc. It's not really a big part of this fic, but it does play a part eventually.
Just wanted to share that this is how I've always envisioned TSOS keita... https://x.com/twaniimals/status/1817253471701061786
OH MY GOD ID NEVER MADE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BLACK VENOM PACK AND THE KTL K TEAM 😭😭 YOURE A GENIUS WHAT THE HELL
Omg no you're so cute. It's okay! I put a few little easter eggs like that into the pack names and most of them seem to have gone under the radar /sweats. I'm glad the connection has finally landed though! I was really proud of that one. @ TSOS readers, let me know if you spotted any of the other easter eggs <3
work nonny. post the chapter whenever you feel like. I am a love of tsos first, a corporate slave second HAHAAHHAA
hi, this is the work nonny. it took so much strength to pace myself through this chapter whenever i had free time because i couldn't STOP. but it's the end of week and i just reread everything in one go and i'm in so much awe. your planning skills are amazing, and i'm so shocked that it never occurred to me that taerae may be more than what we expected. the chapter was lovely, i'm so excited for the next one since that cut at the end was frustratingly good.
Work nonny! I hope you had a good week <3 As soon as the poll about the POV ends, I'll be able to finish the next chapter (I've started both chapters, but the order they'll be posted in will determine some of the scenes that have to go in them). But as for our beloved Taerae... he really is so much more than everyone expects, and only a handful of people in-universe know what that means. It's not going to be a secret for much longer, though. We're coming up to a new subplot, my loves!
Anyway, I'm really glad you enjoyed this chapter! And I do hope you had a good week at work - I'll try to post the next chapter on the weekend so you don't have to wait to read it lol <3
Something I’ve wondered about TSOS is why specifically Woongki and Keita as a ship? No judgement, I love their relationship in your fic, but it did take me by surprise at first
Oh this one is fun! So, when I was planning out characters and ships and stuff, I'd already decided to use Keita bc I love him, and as I was trying to decide who to put with him as a mate I remembered the utterly incredible mating dance that Woongki and Keita did on BP, and thus brought that into my fic. Becasue while we may have been denied the Shanbin v Haruto dance battle, at least we were blessed with the Woongta dance battle. It's a cute ship, I wish it had been given a longer life than the 4 seconds it had back then...
