riki mentioned the tradition of confessing to your crush by giving them your second button on graduation day and my mind immediately went to anatomy of blue!! im not much of an anime fan nor very well-versed regarding japanese culture unfortunately so your fic was the very first time i'd heard of this concept. every scene where that darn button was mentioned was extra agonizing to me.. that tangible, tiny representation of their feelings.. how neither of them could bear to let it go or lose it 😭😭😭😭 and it goes to show how you handled the characterization of riki (and every enha member) in that fic (and in all of your other fics) with such tender dexterity + consciousness that it's sort of manifested itself into canon 🙂↕️ the care you take in your writing shines through just as strongly from the first time i read anatomy of blue to almost a year after you've published it! to be honest, by now i've re-read it an embarrassing amount of times.. i carry such a deep appreciation for any and all words you've given to us here in enha ficdom.... i hope wonki cherish their buttons forever 💙💙💙 and i hope u know how deeply u are cherished as well!!
oh gosh this is soooo sweet!!! T__T thank you sooooo so much!!!!! & thank you for showing me that too i'm mentally punching the air in victory rn at the fact he mentioned the buttons... i was actually going to scrap that concept in the fic because i thought there was so much going on already and there would be MORE going on, but i figured it was such a riki thing to do to confess in his own earnest but private way that would: 1) physically convey his feelings and 2) not burden jungwon with the knowledge that it was a confession. also a very riki thing to do to exchange the buttons somewhat forcefully lmao so i'm very glad i kept it in!!!! i didn't think the buttons in the fic would cause such a lovely stir, it makes me incredibly happy to hear its little impact :''') and for the carefulness i put in their characterizations to be noticed... i'm so heartened. you are so kind this really made my week!!! thank you so much!!! <333
hii, i just finished your heejake fic 'spot dog' and omg I lovedddd this fic so much, it was so well written... god jake's character was so real at times but heeseung's too like ughhh i felt so bad for him??? for both of them really. jungwon and niki's antics were so funny asw (niki and his pads plss) and i always love when beomgyu is introduced as some weirdo and unhinged (just a little bit) in fics haha, oh, and i really like non binary gyu though that's just what i'm guessing he is because i think he was referred to with they pronouns? jayhoon asw were so cute and like ughhh. sunoo was .... sunoo hahaha!! and oh my god i know it was a decently happy ending but it still left something in me like aaaaa what a way to feel at 9am in the morning. anyway thank you for writing this <333 you made me laugh a lot (and cry a little but that's a good thing really)!!! i will definitely keep a lookout if you do decide to write more heejake in the future!!!!!!! (sorry for all the yap)
yay i'm so happy to hear you liked it!!! thank you so much for reading and letting me know your thoughts!! <3 it was definitely a very fun fic to write - i was aiming for something lighthearted and unserious but also. pretty serious once all the layers and defenses were stripped down. i guess i was trying to emulate situational comedies that have heartfelt moments... im pretty sure i watched something but i honestly am scratching my brain for it because it's been a while and i don't remember anything that's happened the last few months. OK BUT ANYWAY !!!! i'm really happy you liked the characterization because it was a joy to play around with!! thank you ^__^ <3
i read "the sky at 10:15am" and... that was the first fic to ever make me cry i think. thank you mear for making me feel emotions through your work i loved it so much. wishing you well <3
(same anon who read spot dog and is genuinely in love with you, who then read first day of my life and threatened you warmly with marriage) just read the anatomy of blue and !!!!!!!!!! i'm at a loss for words; i'm not sure what to affectionately threaten you with next!!!!!! ok that's it, we're moving in together and i will cradle you in the palm of my hand and feed u clementines all day!!!!!! whether you like it or not!!! and we're gonna get a dog maybe!!!! that's all to say you are magic. truly. everything u write is spun from gold u are everything 2 me!!!!!!
were you bullied or pushed out of the skz fandom? like, who do i blame for losing you? 😭😭😭
i really liked your latest wonki fanfic, i feel like jungwon falls into ridicule or humiliation a bit in all your fics but i usually like them a lot anyway. ig you really like writing him like that or you just perceive him as such, but riki is usually cute and adorable, and i really like your way of writing so i end up liking the story a lot!
aw thank u im glad u liked the fic!! 💗 i admit ive scratched my head a bit trying to figure out what u mean by him falling into ridicule/humiliation in my fics.. i do like to write him as mischievous and a bit of a loser (fond) in my silly fics but i think i do that with everyone too 😅 maybe it's just my specific humour..... thanks for tuning in despite it!!!
hello, mear <3 just want to let yknow i truly enjoy reading the astronomy reverse!! theres something so comforting and nostalgic about them
and theyre my all time fave too
im just wondering, do u still plan to write about 2min in the future?
the skz fandom misses you :(
We'll be the flare is the greatest fic i have ever read god bless u for this
okay so... passing by because i felt like doing so!
i read the anatomy of blue at the beginning of the year and even came here to express how much i loved it!! lately i'm sooo addicted to billie eillish's hit me hard and soft and BLUE.... i can't help but think about the anatomy of blue these days (saw another person associating both of them and let's make a movement shall wee?) and had to come back to say you made history. it surely holds a place in my heart and i'm so happy there's such a tale out there and you shared it for free 😭
also little star is so cute and precious and first day of my life hit more personal than what i would like 😭 i'm yet to read spot dog but i know it's going to be another great read!
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES FOR WONKI COMMUNITY, will never forget
oughh this is so kind THANK U!!!!!!! so glad to hear you liked anatomy of blue so much that it's taken up a spot in ur mind... that fic truly was a labour of love and it makes me happy that after its publication it's getting a lot of love too :''') i am glad i was able to contribute to the wonki community!!!!!!!! thank you very very much!!!
hey mear!!! i just wanna say THANK YOU for writing soooo many of your earnest, whimsy, colorful fics <3 i deeply, deeply adore how your way of describing sceneries (my synesthesia is in joy whenever i read your fics - who else would describe the moon as a 'bioluminescent pearl' and use the entire spectrum of yellow to denote feelings?) & weaving in character details that feel more like easter eggs vs an exposition dump. finders keepers lovers losers & the birds eye view series will always live in my heart.
i've read & written fanfiction for almost 10 years now, and you're one of the few writers whose works always made me excited! dramatic as hell but i was SO relieved to find out you're still around on twt & ao3.... too many of my favorite fic writers have come & go so i'm so happy you're still here!
thank you for giving me sources of happiness in this shithole of the year. you are very much loved & appreciated, i promise <3
wahh this is so kind of you!!!!!!! thank you so so much this is so sweet ;__; i'm glad my writing was able to bring a source of enjoyment for you and that you are so fond of them, it always comes as a shock to me that my fics can be held in such high regard and it boggles my mind.. it makes me so incredibly happy to hear!! i truly appreciate you taking the time to drop such a lovely comment in my inbox, thank you so much T_T U made my entire summer <3333
hey mear sorry for spamming your inbox but i just read spot dog and no way you did it AGAIN... the trope of like... "once had something now they have nothing" to "???" is like my favorite thing ever and you my dear mear are the best writer i have seen who is able to accomplish that trope's feeling every single time... i love you please don't die!
no need to apologize i really appreciate the love!!! thank u so much!!!!! <33 T__T i'm glad u enjoyed spot dog!! it was very fun to write and i love love that trope too!!! i could write a gazillion things w the same plot honestly . and that makes writing so enjoyable.... also u are so funny i will not die if i can help it 🙂↔️
listening to true blue and thinking of the anatomy of blue wonki... the best piece of literature and i'm so serious like
helloo! (this is my second time sending a question because i am unsure if the other one sent..) anyways! i just wanted to say i am in love with you and your writing, especially the anatomy of blue .. so many tears were shed but ahh i’m in love T__T , now i have a few questions! first : how do you explain stuff so beautifully? i am seriously inlove with it, and i have problems with this.. i think mine is just basic.. for example, with one of the lines in the anatomy of blue : “his back grows small enough to fit inside his palm- to be engraved into a lifeline. that ending to something.” this line has seriously stuck to me rahh… AND this was not the only beautiful line, quite frankly, every single one was. my question is HOWWW? second question : how do you plan it so perfectly? like the scenes, how do you plan what happens next? (hopefully that makes sense..) thank you for your awesome fics! <3
