popping bottles for jm’s rumored ambassadorship 🍾🥂!!! what’s in ur romand collection btw (LOL i saw that you said u don’t have nucadamia)
yess i seriously hope i’m not counting my chickens before they hatch but jm romand on top of jn a’pieu would really make me the happiest fujo in the world.. also it’s really not a big collection lol iirc i only have the glasting color gloss in peony ballet, glasting water gloss in sanho crush, the juicy lasting tint in peach honey b (limited collab color - i went through sooo much to try and get her 😭).. and i have the better than eyeshadow palette in mahogany garden! i think that’s all the romand i have (in general i would say i slightly prefer espoir or peripera’s lip tints as they seem to have better staying power 😭) haha when it was revealed that jaemin’s mua used nucademia i was tempted to get it but i had just imposed a lippie buying ban on myself so i needed to show some restraint… but with jeno a’pieu confirmed now i’m afraid my wallet is in danger yet again 🥹💔
hello boyteared, im a big fan of urs!! i rlly enjoy all your q&as on here and previously on cc, and i know you’ve set up neospring but have you ever considered a tumblr acc?? 🥹 perhaps the organization might b easier!! but i will follow you to every new platform <3
hello lovely anon! i have considered using tumblr for asks actually, the tagging system feels like it would make my life sooo much easier. but i haven’t used it in a while and i’ve gotten quite used to curiouscat/retro/its iterative clones so i guess i’m feeling a bit reluctant to go back..? despite the obviously optimal organization capabilities. i rly am guy who hates change soo bad LMAO but honestly if you guys think tumblr will be better lmk and i’ll consider it more seriously!! and thank you for all your support haha sorry for the never ending expansion of links to new platforms.. maybe we do need to retvrn to our 2014 tumblr roots.. 😂

i love it when you can tell mark’s a little scared of him https://x.com/archivesnjm/status/1891850415748104254?s=46&t=kGRDKdhCe48_Gt-82j849g
THE WAY HE FLINCHED mark please 😭 he’s not going to eat you. yet. … jm intentionally/unintentionally making mark freak out a little is one of my favorite flavors of markmin as well (see: exhibit a, exhibit b) like it really never gets old to me. but also did you see this clip of jaemin (doing what can only be described as) fondling marks ear i was lowkey scandalized ngl like the eyes rolling back was crazy…. mark you’re on air… you’re live… hm someone should write a fic about this. idk.
was kinda looking at ao3 stats for nct and i noticed that while top!jn and bttm!jm as a whole is more popular for the nomin ship tag, for fics tagged as canon compliant, top jaemin and bottom jeno has more fics when you filter to only include canon compliant stories 😭😭 idk it's just a bit interesting how despite how widespread jenjaem is among nomin shippers (sea aka indonesian and thai fans), jaemjen somehow crawled to the top for Specifically canon fics 🤓
!!! omg is this true… i haven’t checked ao3 stats in a long while for them bc it lowkey depresses me every time to confirm what i already know (nomin hegemony) but waiiit jaemjen pulling ahead on the canon comp charts gagged me a bit. well [oprah spreading hands gif] tea… truth prevails when you know the canon you know the canon 🙂↕️
chenle defending and explaining jaemins princess prince deal cracked me up so bad for some reason:?&;&3 like he was really going to bat for him!!
no like chenle takes his job as translator And jaemin’s princess agenda both very seriously he’s not here to fuck around!! i too have been dying at the the way he matter of factly and emphatically repeats jaemin’s explanation while everyone else in dream is varying degrees of bewildered, he’s like yes jaemin is prince and princess and czennies are queens and kings what is so hard to understand about this. yes everyone is princess princess is a state of mind jaemin is the crossdressing femtop who is my sugar daddy 1+1=2 duh?
hiii i was curious to know if you knew how the jaeminbar blind box events work? i’ve gone down the rabbit hole of jaeminbar merch and have developed a slight obsession but i’m not sure if the blind box drops are accessible to intl fans in any way….i’m assuming by using a proxy you could secure but wasn’t sure how the process worked in general. if you don’t know anything about this please feel free to ignore! i know you’re an avid jaemin enjoyer so i thought i would ask just in case🙈
hi anon!! sorry i haven’t particularly looked into buying from jaeminbar but i assume a proxy could handle it as well! (though if you’re based in the us i don’t know how reliable obtaining things from china is rn 😭😂) the process is not all too different from joining or doing personal orders with kpop gos ime! you first find a proxy agent and send them the thing you want to purchase, then send them the money and they get it for you; it’s shipped first to their china address, and then they’ll let you know how much shipping from china to your address is. though i will admit it’s been a while since i’ve used one so your experience may vary! i’ve been considering also finding someone to get me the jaemin spotlight mag bc it seems like nobody’s opening for us gos 😭🥲 it’s one of his best covers in my opinion and i wish i could easily obtain it…💔💔💔
https://x.com/shampooojung/status/1867216532134371694?s=46&t=5G5ZjUkF_OMX8uPGK6YAKg this is so scrumptious to meee
not to be that person addressing the elephant in the room but will u be moving to neospring or another site when retrospring shuts down 😭
wait how did you get aespa soundcheck for la omggggg i was camping on the ticketmaster site like crazy and still no dice :(
this is probably not the answer you wanted to hear i’m honestly not sure how i managed to snag these tickets either like but i didn’t even sign up for weverse presale this time bc i forgot uhwiekfhsfs. i infamously have shitty luck with ticketing but this time i suppose the concert deities sensed my pure-hearted intentions and smiled kindly upon me while i was camping out on the page watching for people to release their soundcheck tickets back into the wild 😭🥹 i hope you get them next time anon!!
do you ever read/do you have any recs for r63 fics…recently been really into another fandom (ermm. formula 1 rpf) and they really don’t play with r63 omg and now i’m just thinking of the possibilities within dreamie fic. or rather do you have any r63 thoughts??

happy lunar new year miss mich 🫰🧧💗
please just don’t even dare mention fem hc nahyuck fic like that’s so evil and some of us have read all of your fics 5000 times and can only wish you somehow become hypnotised and forced to dust off google docs exhales
girl ME TOO 😭😭 trust me if i could find a way to somehow force myself to excise all 30k+ of assorted dream wips out of my gdocs and onto ao3 as fully formed fics i would’ve done so already!! i do genuinely feel apologetic every time i unintentionally end up baiting you guys during a fleeting burst of short lived motivation and then not delivering anything. which has been happening for the past four years whsndkfkmf unfortunately writing and i have been in a long term toxic situationship where we ignore each other 99% of the time but still text once every other month to remind the other of our existence. and what could be. nothing more nothing less… 😂 though i am genuinely heart touched by your support of my meager existing ao3 repertoire anon <3 perhaps i may even be feeling inspired to get back into the mines again… i do have several nahyuck ideas i should revisit after all 🤔
i finally able to create a weibo account but i don't know how to find my jaemjen/minno shippers 😭 can you rec me some terms/users? thank youu
hii here’s the minno super topic: https://weibo.com/p/100808b91764447717022789d59403e8119868
minno in chinese: 民诺
slang that minno cfans use:
笃 - ‘du’ aka the single character ship name abbreviation for nomin and jaemjen (non order indicative). you can find more lore behind the name here
哥酱 - ge with the -chan suffix. kinda same vibes as oppa, referring to jaemin
狗妹 - puppy girl, referring to jeno
you can also always look through the 民诺 super topic and the 民诺 tags to find users that frequently post about minno as well! for starters here’s the tag for a recent christmas multimedia collab project between quite a few minno shippers: http://s.weibo.com/weibo?q=%23%E6%B0%91%E8%AF%BA%E5%9C%A3%E8%AF%9E%E8%81%94%E4%BA%A724h%23 there’s a lot of fic / art / etc so i’m sure you can find a few accounts to follow and browse through!
im so sad curious cat shut down bc i cant see your holygrail beauty products... cant trust influencers these days bc theyre paid to sell u products (unless... u r actually an influencer???) pls tell me random internet person whom seems like they have good skin bc they have a spending problem <3 pls and thank u have a good one
first of all ntm on the spending problem helloo 😭 i’ll have you know that 90% of my routine is the same as last year! and secondly. the implication that i could possibly be an influencer(?) made me ctfu…well as soon as posting about jaemjen gay sex in tandem with normie makeup and skincare content becomes a viable monetizable internet career you best believe i will be in that house like carpet 🫶
as for my holy grails, i looked back at that cc post in my archive spreadsheet and the only ones i still use daily are the heroine make long and curl mascara and shiseido eyelash curler. i still do like the msh loveliner but i’m afraid the cost-performance value of my <$5 flortte liquid liner cannot be beat, i have this product in three shades. for cleansers the kose softymo speedy is The oil cleanser like literally the only one i’ve consistently repurchased so i think it belongs here as well. my skin barrier saviors include the numbuzin no.2 protein serum and the aestura atobarrier 365 cream. i think vt reedle shot and pdrn serum are too recent of additions in my routine to be eligible for holy grail status so i’ll give them a year or so…but i will say that i do like them a lot as of right now.
re: other miscellaneous products — i’ve been in a bit of a skin scent era this past year or so (juliette has a gun - pear inc / le labo - another 13 / glossier - you / etc) but my fragrance ride or dies are still byredo’s mojave ghost and nette’s thé vanille… possibly the scents of all time To Me i would repurchase them 100x over.
