Hello!! Different anon here but I saw you mention character study in the context of detail of the woods...that term always goes over my head...can you please explain in baby language what exactly is a character study---I'd be grateful--- thanks!!

it's a deep dive on jeongguk's traits/personality/development--specifically through the lens of how he interacts with his editor and people he doesn't know--and how they all revolve around writing/his job of being an author :)

real horror? you should check out @/btsfrightfest!!

or, at least, as horrific as i can get it without stepping on fest rules! i think it's gonna be fun and Definitely Not Everyone's Cup of Tea.

re: frightfest! i would join But this fest fic is taking up all my time~ i tend to edit as i go, which draws out the process into something way too long. unfortunately, i cannot work any other way! i will join frightfest next year and really let myself loose 🖤

poetry classs anon again omg, thanks for the playlist! i was also thinking about using a hozier song jj which one would you choose? the analysis mainly focuses on the use of imagery and tone so i think he's perfect

i think "in a week (feat. karen cowley)" or "in the woods somewhere" both have a lot of good stuff for this (they're both kind of dark, though, LOL). it's been a real hot minute since i took an english class, so hopefully this was helpful to you!

have you found the author who writes like hozier? 🚬

re: i have not! mostly because i've been busy once again with life and reading my mutuals' fics and fics i already have on my TBR-- so not much time for new things :( i figure i'll just take up the mantle and recommend @inhervicinity while i'm at it! they recently wrote a fic 'waiter, make mine blues' for one setting fest which i definitely got a hozier vibe from!

Hi honey! I have to analyze a song for my poetry class, and honestly, I can't choose one 😭😭 sooo I wanted to ask you for a (or several) song recs jj 👉🏽👈🏽 have a nice day/night!!

omg, wait.. i love this...!!!!! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/43zgCL8d9ameR9ZGh7qOU6?si=09bce9a921004c10 here's a (not so short, sorry, i got overzealous) playlist for you! i think great songs to analyze for poetry would be anything by hozier or ethel cain because they're already so poetic, but i like so many of those songs on there that it's hard to pick just one. DCFC and the postal service are also near and dear to my heart so i could think about those all day long... best of luck, and let me know if there's something specific you're looking for and i will do my best to deliver ♡

i'm really excited about your etol fic!! reading your works starting from the oldest to the newest has showed me that you're getting even more unhinged (in the bestest way possible) so i'm very much looking forward to reading anything new from you. no pressure, just positive energy and admiration for your art! ♡

P. S. You didn't scare me off. I've talked with enough people about astrology so I'm well acquainted with the range of reactions. :)

p.s. yay, perfect! thanks for being so willing to chat about it, i actually thought this was a lot of fun!

Well... I don't know you, only your writing which I've read and your online persona. Natal charts are puzzles made of many tiny pieces. For example, your Mercury sign is the way you communicate and learn and what things you're interested or passionate about. Scorpio is ruled by Mars (passion, aggression, action, sex) and Pluto (destruction). This sign likes to go deep, isn't afraid to explore the shadows. Your writing (for example the metaphorized cannibalism) shows it.

i got some other info on the last ask i cross-posted to twitter, so i think i might actually do some deep diving... this is kinda neat outside of the simplification of it that i've seen on instagram/tiktok; i wanna see if this'll explain exactly why i am the way i am (and from what you've said, it definitely does. also lol crying love how my writing is characterized by metaphorical cannibalism ugh what a thing to be known for, this is amazing). thanks for taking the time to explain it to me!!!

I asked about your placements out of curiosity (especially about your Mercury sign because it's the one which mainly influences your writing/things you find interesting). I don't support stereotypes or using astrology as a way to label people. It's just something I find fun and something that has helped me truly believe in the alchemy of our beings. So... Thank you for sharing! ✨

i hope i didn't scare you off; i know my opinions about certain things can be unnecessarily loud...! if you wanna share what you think (especially about the writing bit?? i know i say i don't believe in it much, but there's always that Burning Curiosity of What If There's More To Things.. and my interest has been piqued re: those topics), that'd be super neat!

thanks for hoppin' in, dude! hope you have a great day. 🍂

Hey! The demure thing is from tiktok, @joolieannie. If you have access and can watch a few vids, it should make sense! She's using the terms ironically.
