are you not into johnjae as much anymore :(
I still like them a lot ! I’m in a huge Yuta phase for like … the millionth year straight … so I keep letting him date them instead, but i also am not really engaging with a lot of Johnjaeists online right now which I think is sucking my creativity dry when it comes to ideas with them 🥲 my Johnjae thoughts are just a weak, under utilized muscle right now
What moment did you become an nctzen?
Im so glad you asked I heard no longer on a Spotify playlist and I was like wow… this is what music is all about…. And then I heard puzzle piece similarly. And then love talk. Maybe that order is wrong. Regardless. I got a taste. And I was buying BP The Album from ktown4u and they were like ooo preorder Nct 2020 🤩 and I was like well I know all of these groups can put together a tune so let me do that. And I told my friend and I was like idk what unit it is but!! And she was like it’s all of them. And I was like what does that mean. And she was like it’s literally one million men… singing and dancing … for your entertainment. Anyway resonance pt 1 is like the epitome of what an album is supposed to be … they have the ludes… (pre-, inter-). It was so much at once. I got Sungchan’s debit photo card. They photoshopped Jaehyun’s boobs out of his photos (boo tbh but really funny). It just got me by the throat. And then I bought all the re-release a few months later when sm was like oh shit people like these guys huh? But yeah my resonance part 1 first listen was The Moment™️ for me
can u say more about that johnyujae idea? :)
Wahoo yeah !!!!!! It’s not fleshed out at all but lots of inner turmoil as Jhyun copes with the idea of being left behind when jhnny and Yta’s time on the team (and eventually at university) is coming to the end. And while he knows he’s not really behind left behind, he can’t just stop feeling that way. Obviously … OBVIOUSLY jhyun will have the /oh/ moment where he’s like Ah this hurts because I don’t like them like regularly friends. Which is also overwhelming for him because he’s realizing he doesn’t just like one of his best friends but both of them. And everything feels big and imminent for him and jhnny and Yta don’t really understand what’s going on and why jhyun is pulling back so much. Etc etc. Praying to the writing gods that I can bring this to fruition 🙏🏻
pls tell me all of ur favorite things to read about
I assume that you mean fic do I will start with fic but then I will go into all the other things I like reading after that
Friends to lovers is my favorite trope I can wax poetic about how much I love it another time but it’s my favorite. And then second favorite would be cannibalism/technically not cannibalism/which I guess just leads us to monsters as a whole but less so vampires I’m not inherently drawn to them. I also really like fic where the characters are figuring out their sexuality. REOU by sneaky is obvious a huge one for me (and so is it’s all about the u, dix please come back 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻) because i am a yujaeist first and a human second, but I like when characters learn about themselves and who they really are. There are a few johnjaes that hit this for me as well but I can’t remember their names off the top of my head. I’ll read anything yujae. Or johnyu. Or johnyujae. I like when they in love and I like when they’re friends who would go to the end of the earth for each other. I like sports aus and regular ass office worker aus and the hot neighbor with a cat au and I LOVE soc med aus on Twitter they take so much effort, those writers are incredible. I like college aus, I like when writers get niche and include the pens someone uses or the details of someone food prepping. IF YOU LIKE DETAILS OF FOOD PREPPING/COOKING, read Wendy’s chef Jaehyun fic. It’s on going and life changing and she is so talented. I love poly or open relationships and I like cheating fics but NOT cheating as a means to become poly and ALSO ONLY WHEN it’s the ship I like that is villainously kissing each other. I Will explode on thé spot if Yuta or jaehyun ever cheat on each other
Okay not fic - i like reading Wikipedia pages of movies because I don’t like watching movies. Often times I will look up something like the scariest movies and I will just read the plots of them and I will say okay, that would freak me out
I love horror books, more specifically psychological horror. I read a lot more of it when I was younger and now I’m trying to get back into it. I read lots of short story collections. I’m tentative to say that I like true crime novels because I don’t like the true crime is inherently exploitative, but I’ve read a select few that I believe are less exploitative. For example, right now I’m listening to bright young women. My FAVORITE book is a tale for the time being by Ruth ozeki and it is very heavy and there are two narratives that are told throughout the story and I might be mislabeling it but I think the best way to describe it would be that there are elements of magical realism in there. I have Ruth ozeki’s first book as well, my year of the meats, and I’m excited to read that. I LOVE nonlinear timelines. Invisible Monsters was my favorite book for 10 years before I real a tale for the time being so I think that’s influential there lol. I’m getting into science fiction but like LIGHT science fiction I think … there is a book called rabbits by Terry miles (????) … it is a contingency story to a podcast called rabbits, put out by public radio alliance. Available on Spotify. I recommend the book but I recommend the podcast first. It’s in more of a story format and it’s like … reality altering. It’s a little fucky but I love it. I haven’t listened to the second season though but it’s about this secret game called rabbits and the narrator gets involved because her friend goes missing while playing it and there are enforcers who make sure the rules are followed and it’s very good. I want to write a fic inspired by it tbh
Honestly I usually pick books by their covers.
ok so so hypothetically which members do u think would fake getting married as a april fools joke
Yangyang and Hendery, easy. They did hire a real ordained minister and signed real marriage certificates in attempts to make it more believable. Um Johnny would insist he got married and mark would be like no you didn’t, we weren’t invited. But Jaehyun and Yuta would say they were there and that mark got the invite and he must have accidentally thrown it out and marky would try to stand his ground but eventually they’d get him and they’ll have a laugh and mark will be like come on I knew you were playing but they won’t care because for 17 seconds he was bamboozled and that’s all that matters. and then ummmm I think Chenle would and jisung would believe it immediately
Your new 2jae omg
okay then in french it's more like [d͡ʒɒni] :) what I gave you was the american english pronunciation :P (I'm a linguist for your context :D)
hii, kindly, I want to let you know Johnny would be transcribed as [d͡ʒɑni], not with a schwa :)
whats a yuta ship you havent written that you want to?
top Johnny or bottom Johnny?
All Johnny sex is good sex 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 i do not have top/bottom preference!!! (With anyone!) although I will say: There is something extra fun when you get jottom bc he’s a big boy and doesn’t get it as much but if you ask me 🫶🏻 put him in a threesome and he is sandwiched in the middle !!!!!!!! Let him give AND receive!!!!!!!!!!!! Porque no los dos? PORQUE NO LOS DOS!!!!!!
Did you see johnyu were wearing veils at the fansign? Can’t believe they decided to make their vows in front of everyone! 🥰 Congrats to them though!
GOOD FOR THEM BUT ALSO WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEE WHY DIDNT THEY INVITE MEEEEEEEEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭 i Hope they’re kissing right now. Or worse………. I Hope jhnny is tickling Yta until he is gasping for air and THEN. I Hope jhnny kisses him and tells him he loves him. Wow. I love love. Congratulations to them… invite me to the renewals or else
Is yuta your ult?
oh wait what are you thinking for wonhee
Slow burn (🤞🏻🤞🏻) where wonbin is asked to help set ???? Up with his best friend sohee and he’s game at first, but slowly different things start to fall in place around him about feelings for sohee. Like hearing sohee talk about how perfect the date was (that wonbin planned) and how nice it is for this guy to show up with a little drinky drink when Sohee’s having a bad day with him having to ask (wonder who told him) etc etc you know
are you writing anything rn
Hehe I am ☺︎ I made a lot of progress on a 2jae I’m writing for Shiloh on a flight last weekend and I also started a johnil fic on thé flight 🤩 but like … that’s low on the list of priorities. Um likely I’ll try to focus on a riize fic after this 2jae. I havé random Seokso thoughts but I’d also like to write a wonhee or wontaro or euntaro fic so maybe I’ll finally flesh out some ideas there ☺︎
favorite fic trope?
I am a simple gal….. i love friends to lovers. Something about someone knowing you and seeing you at different highs and lows of your life and slowly falling along the way…. The internal conflict that comes with not knowing how a confession will change things and whether it’s worth risking in.
Also I love reading horror and tending to enjoy psychological horror over something gory ☺︎
