YESSS this moment right https://x.com/sanrawrxd/status/1863279064972169601?t=BMMVH9oigusf3R9CIt61LA&s=19 i looove a neck grab / waist grab moment especially when combined with the ridiculous theatrics present here lol the lady doth protest too much etc. i've been paying special attention to jml recently for reasons and laughed and smiled and clapped through their dream v dream, it touches my heart how close they've grown and how well they openly know each other now, the power of abnormal guys who are normal coworkers to men in men's business billionaire beyblade gaming buddies to silly guyswhoaresnakes bffery who can high tension out together is so beautiful. it's really nice that they've hit this You Are Not Coming In x You Are Coming In Whether You Want To Or Not equilibrium groove when they seemed to have such mismatched wavelengths before. chenle's imperviousness to (other people's) complexes and cheerful social butterfly willingness to play along with people combined with jaemin's passion for committing to the bit and open borders cognitive restructuring to cure himself of the tension points he had before in re chenle's uncontrollability has created a really funny winning formula.

that being saidddddd i'm jichen fated soulmates truther and endgamer so i do think that chenle's growing closeness with jeno and jaemin in particular has thrown such a fun little (or not little) spanner in the works for jc considering the tenor of jisung's own relationships with jmjn and it's definitely something i'd like to see explored. i'm cheering on your jc wip efforts!!! i am also getting back in the jc wip mines myself, let's push the writing boulder together <3 also ctfu'd at your last sentence, strongly cosigned as an average jmrn enjoyer.

awww anon my heart is so touched T__T <3 um firstly i'm sorry about misery and anguish being my writing passion but thank you for bearing with me whfdkjgkdfd i like to think that my fics are ultimately about love and belief even in the face of certain doom so i hope that those moments of catharsis are worth the pain!! lol i'm so glad the jokes/terror zigzagging in swdbg worked for you. war criminals shop too is so silly but i did crack myself up writing that part. also very glad you liked haechan's voicing and the realtruepresentgame love that is dr in swdbg, i know the jmrn is incredibly heavy emotionally but i really tried to balance it out with the dr so both dynamics would resonate with equal weight. anyway i hope you enjoyed(??? felt some kind of way about???) the rest of swdbg and thank you so much for dropping this very lovely note in my inbox!!

hello!! omg yes i've seen op's yuri art pop up on my tl and it is so pleasing to look at, really such a lovely art style and i am always glad to see more f/f around :') <3 especially enjoyed https://x.com/haotmeal/status/1793105296208064819 for the beautiful girls and beautiful tennis. it's so funny that you mention winrina--i distinctly remember mistaking one of of op's yuri bn artworks where they're blonde x brunette for winrina on first glance lmao. also As A Fellow Zzt Onepickist would you like to say more about the vibes you felt from zh (like... homosexuality...?) because i do love a highranker centre slayer on principle and he is kind of already my oshi in law...

i haven't read <the guy she was interested in wasn't a guy at all> in its published form but i did read parts of it when sumiko arai was posting it as a comic on twitter, again an art style so pleasing to look at. from my limited knowledge it's not really my personal taste in story (i like romance in a high-stakes high-tension People Die When Killed setting) but i thought it was cute!!

I HAVE NOW, i can't believe it's never found its way onto my radar before considering that one of my greatest passions in life is idol survival shows where the survival is literal. average death games and idolverse angst and military academy child soldierdols and people dying when killed and complex entanglements of unrequited love and ambiguous relationships and sacrifice and rescue and doom enjoyer... rn hyuna and luka are probably 2pick, hyuna is so cool and reminds me of sakura kyoukos i have loved before and luka being a twisted fucking cycle path and defending champion is all exactly what i like to see.

will be meditating further on agendas but i’m primarily interested in luka → hyuna → mizi (arrow directions not entirely determinative), luka illusioning sua in order to provoke mizi into losing her shit was an image soooo compelling as was hyuna swooping in to rescue mizi and saving or trying to save her over and over and over again and ofc i will be there no matter what for whatever toxic enemyexes who never got over each other thing lukahyuna have going on… there’s a couple of scenes in all in, one where mizi is clinging onto hyuna on the motorcycle and they drive past one of luka’s ads and there’s a closeup of the image of his face reflected on hyuna’s sunglasses, and another where hyuna has been captured and then mizi charges in to rescue her and again it’s luka’s ad behind her (LOVE the hyuna pov shot of mizi’s resolve visibly kicking in as she shoots and Image Of Luka splits and blurs in the background now that’s cinema…). anyway those instantly crystallised evil triangulation visions in my mind. i really like the idea of hyunamizi resistance roadtrip where they experience joy and laughter and couldbesecondlove with each other but ultimately their histories and ghosts mean they were doomed from the start. but still it means something that they did save each other in the moment even if it could not last.

other scenes i enjoyed: hyuna desperately trying to stop mizi from risking her life to go to till and mizi shaking her off because she has to try to save till no matter what, ivan double checking that till’s score is higher than his while he’s kissing/strangling till to save him, child luka killing a boy just because he got too close to hyuna, till closing his hand around mizi’s with the last of his strength, the first time luka seems off-balance being when he sees hyuna again on the stage at finals.

finally the premise is sooo friendship cup from yugioh arc v season 2… to me...

whiplash is soooo good, i love dystopia cyborg model runway walk music and the girls all look stunning <3 and some of the visual language in the mv reminded me of dramas i have loved before so i'm very happy with this cb! LOL high five anon i have also preordered the limited ver and it's true that the shirts were a significant determining factor in my choice of which album ver/s to buy :') can't wait to go for a run in ningshirt (hopefully) pretending i'm 80% cybernetic augments. a little less subtle than the merch i usually go for but the art is just so cool.

how did you feel about the bsides? i think my ranking is whiplash > flowers > kill it > flights not feelings > just another girl > pink hoodie 🤔
