how many times have u seen dream?
Hello!!! Thanks for all of the bl recs.. Haven't checked them out yet BUT I WILL SOON! And if I read them, I will be here to discuss 🤠😽!!
Also thank you (this is for the graduation)!!! I am most probably going to study further... A lot of friends are going to work/look for careers in the field but I might study a bit more, leaning towards that. I'm even more nervous about the work... Bcoz I've never EVER worked! Like it would totally be like a new baby deer (fawn?) trying to walk in this big, wide world!! Everyone else that I know has done some job or the other or has done an internship, like all of my family and friends!!! Like all of them have done smth or the other by my age and I've just never ... Done.. That so 😶🌫😶🌫😶🌫☠️☠️☠️ I'm so AHDHSJDJDH about this!!!! That's why I'm probably going to study further and avoid this problem haha 😎😎😎 (very modern problems require modern solutions of me)
Ok about the art, I used to be good... In the least douchey way possible, but like idk I was good at like the shading and highlights and all that shit, and then I stopped. Now I want to pick that up and start again BUT I'VE PUT MYSELF UNDER SO MUCH PRESSURE!!! Like I need, I need that first comeback sketch to be a banger so bad, that I'm probably not going to make one again bcoz yeah... If I draw and it doesn't meet my standards... I'm going to... 🗿🗿 and I've done this before ONCE! I tried to get back into stuff, and I drew something? Some landscape or smth and... Uh... I was... Horrified SO I just haven't picked it up again!! Obviously all this pressure and judgement is for me, on me, by me! I'm trying to talk myself through and just push myself forward!! Like I can just throw it away if doesn't look good but haha! I'll do it tho! And maybe I might send the sketch in ur dmmsss hehe 🤡
I hope you enjoy your vacation to the fullest!!!! And take care 💗💗💗, thanks for the msgssss and kind words!!! Also thanks for the advice as well ❤❤✨✨
shdkfjs anon im sorry for replying late again! i really need to check rs more often 😭😭😭
i totally understand not feeling ready to work yet and if u like what ur studying enough to continue it i think that's a good thing to keep at it and take ur time! working full time sucks anyway LOL avoid it as long as u can 😂 but also just wanna say it's okay if u don't have work experience! lots of people don't! it just takes some time to learn and adjust to a new environment and experience. i'm sure when it's time for u to do that u will be ready and successful!
omg i really understand what u mean about putting too much pressure on urself when it comes to art. feeling like if it doesn't meet ur standards it will just make u not wanna continue 😭 im like that with my art and with my fic too hsdkfjs it's really frustrating! i hope since u sent this message that u have tried to pick up ur art again, but it's also okay if u haven't! im cheering u on regardless!
thank u so much i did have a good vacation! and i hope u have a great day and week ahead! take care anon!! 🩷
Do you have a thread of your works? I love your 2jaeno. 😋
hi anon! i'm glad u enjoyed the 2jaeno snippets i've posted haha thank u for reading them! 🩷unfortunately i don't have a thread of my works on twitter, but u can find all my full fics on my ao3 @ tatoeba! any other snippets and stuff on twitter are lost to the void LOL but u can probably find a bunch if u search my page with "wipwednesday." i'm just too lazy to make a thread bc i have wayyy too many fics for that and too many wip posts lol sorry 😭😅
Hellooo!!! I haven't been here in a while but then I saw the tweets of CC and Retrospring BOTH BEING SHUT DOWN?!! Like how am I supposed to talk to you to ask stupid recs?! And to go crazy over your Johnjae ficsss!!! This is so sad... 😔 anyways, I feel like the universe is telling me to just pop up in your twt dms 😭😭😭 like that's the only way left now 😭😭😭 ....
Moving on, JAEHYUN IS FUCKING ENLISTING?!!! NEXT MONTH??!! I CAN'T DO THIS!!! God I remember when the exos started enlisting and so I sort of detached myself from kpop as a "stan" and just sort of vibed to the music but ever since I've followed you! You've made me such a big Jaehyun fan and his enlistment sort of hit me out of nowhere I'm so 😭😭😭😭😭 not prepared!!!!! This isn't fair I can't do this shit again 😭😭😭😭😭 HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?! This is in general not just related to the Jaehyun stuff!!
Also I remember you saying you read BLs any recs?! I really love the dynamics in your fics so I feel as though the recs would be nice so!! Any recs?!
Ok so this is a bit random but I'm going to be graduating soon... Hopefully, and there's a general confusion on if I want to study ahead get a Master's or ya know... Start working or do smth else so yep... 😶🌫 did you directly start working after your degree as in, in a field related to it, or did you study ahead?! I'm sooo confused, I'm thinking to get a Master's till I can sort myself out and see what to do about the careerrrr ugh it feels so weird when I say that, I feel so adult-like and I'm really not an adult(?!) I feel so out of place whenever the career talks comes to me and it's like wym???? I'm literally a 10 yr old I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WORK!!!!
I've also been thinking of starting to get back into art again, I used sketch and paint and colour and all sort of shitt!!! But then I stopped, I see your watercolour posts sometimes and that really makes me happy and feel like I can create smth again!! Have you been painting recently? Also this was also spurred on bcoz I got a big very official pencil set/case with a lot of other stuff as a gift and it's so expensive! So now I'm like shittt I cannot let this go to waste 😭😭😭 even though I didn't really want it? It's here now and I don't want to seem ungrateful so 😭😭😭😭😭
Wow this msg got toooo long, I just sort of dumped everything here as a little funny overview of my life ☠️💀
Uh... Hope it's not too confusing to read through LMAO this is just how my brain shifts through topics 😼😼😼
Feel free to tell me (or not) how have you been!!! 😽😽✨✨💗💗
hsdkfjs omg anon this message is so nice i'm happy to hear from u again! and u are totally welcome to come into my twitter dms to chat once retrospring is gone! or sooner!! i might make an account on another similar site if i come across one too but i haven't found one yet!
i can't believe jaehyun is enlisting already eitherrrr 😭😭😭 it came out so suddenly i wasn't prepared even after going through so many enlistments with exo 😭😭 it makes me happy to hear ive made u more of a jaehyun fan tho haha 😂 but i just keep reminding myself that the sooner he goes, the sooner he'll be back 🥹
omg for BLs....i've read so many....but from the top of my head some of the ones i've enjoyed are love shuttle, the new recruit, what's with this strange dream, kiraide isasete, love in orbit, mad dog, black or white, sasaki and miyano, therapy game.......hopefully there's something here u will like!
congrats on graduating soon!! that's really amazing! 👏👏 i totally understand not knowing exactly what u want to do afterward and feeling like a child still haha i think the transition from school to working adulthood is more challenging than people expect. i didn't know what i wanted to do, i didn't have any proper career path. i did not want to continue school tho LOL so i job hunted for awhile and found a job that was related to my degree. about four years after graduating, i started a master's program in an adjacent field and i did that part time while still working full time! i think it took me 3? years to complete my master's. and then three years after that i managed to find a much better job and i've been working there ever since! if you're unsure of what u want to do next and ur not opposed to more studying and schoolwork, then getting a masters isn't a terrible option. i have some friends who did that too, where they continued with school bc they didn't know what they wnated to do next. i also have a friend who worked for a long time after graduation but then decided he wanted to become a doctor and went back to school for that in his 30s. like there is no right path! u should do what u think is best for u. if more schooling will help u land a better job, then that might be a good option, but if ur sick of school and want some real life experience, finding a job is a good choice too. u can always apply to a master's program later. u can work and do ur master's at the same time if u want. there are a lot of possibilities so don't feel too stressed or pressured one way or another. i think whatever u decide to do, as long as u give it ur best effort, u will be successful!
as for painting, i haven't done it in a long time sdhfkjsd mostly because i'm lazy LOL but also i used painting as a creative outlet for when i wasn't able to write and lately i've been okay with writing so i haven't felt the need to pull out my paints lol but i think u shouldn't give up ur art! especially if u have some nice tools to work with! even if it's just a little drawing once a week or every other week, i think once u get back into it u'll remember how much u enjoy it! i think i need to do this too lol
thank u again for ur long message anon! it was really nice to hear about ur life! as for me, i'm doing good 🥹 trying to get thru every day LOL but i have a vacation planned next week and then i'm going to japan next month (plus a short day trip to see dream in seoul for encore!) so i'm really excited about all of that! gives me something to look forward to 😂
hope u have a great day anon! take care!! 🩷🩷🩷
Sometimes I forget that being happy/normal all the time with a little sadness sprinkled in from time to time is how life is for most people. Like being sad all the time with small spurts of happiness is not the normal state that people are in... Haha... 😐 I mean when I think about it, it's so weird.
omg anon i'm so sorry for this late reply i did not see this until now hsdfkhsf ur right tho, it really is so weird when u think about it in that way. i'm not sure i fit into either side of it either. it's like i have long stretches of sadness with little moments of happiness then long stretches where i'm just content, sprinkled with little bits of sadness. it sucks that happiness isn't always a given. but i think thinking of ur life in this kind of way can make u feel worse about it. whatever ur default is is UR normal u know? that's what matters. how u handle it and how u make the most of it. cherish the happy moments whenever they happen and try to think more positively. of course that's easier said than done. and i don't even do that myself all the time lol but we only got one life so i think we have to do what we can to enjoy it. i hope u can find some happiness in the little things anon, even if it seems impossible. ur normal and ur human even if ur "default" is being sad all the time. u deserve happiness too. 🩷
I'm super sad that my cc isn't working anymore how am I supposed to talk to you now 😭 I loved cc! I even made an account to try to get it to work but :( anyways I'm happy that I still have this space. I panicked so hard when my msgs weren't going through on cc thinking all was lost!!! But yeah luckily I remembered you had this place too hehe 😼😼✨✨💗💗
Thank you for sharing the books you've been reading. I've added a few of them to my To Read list and I'm really excited to get to them!
YOU'RE WRITING MORE JOHNJAE??!!!!?!?!!!!
JOHNJAE ARRANGED MARRIAGE /AND/ JOHNJAE OMEGAVERSE!!! OH THIS IS CRAZZYYY, I'M GOING CRAZYYY!!!! I live for your johnjae, you have opened my heart and my mind and my eyes and you've made me obsessed, obsessed with them!! I've read all your johnjae fics at leasssttt a 100 times and I always smash the kudos button even though I've done that a thousand times already but ughhh!! I love your johnjae dynamics mannn, you write the both of them so, so, so well. Just how they're both so pretty and in love and they call each other baby and honey oofff!!! Actually going insane rn! (I can't believe I missed the voting, feels like I missed the elections 😭 this is so much more important than the elections!) (I would've voted for the arranged marriage BUT that doesn't even matter, I need the new tatoeba johnjae fics whatever au they may be in!)
Love their dynamics in your fics! I will be eagerly awaiting your johnjae
And on that note, if you have any recs to share on them, with similar dynamics to your fics pls do I will read them till I patiently (excitedly) wait for yours!
(Also ik this is all over the place, but I really do love your johnjae and I can't contain myself sorryy)
(Also I had to post this here because cc wasn't allowing me to ask it for some weird API reasons...??? 😭😭)

hope there's something here u haven't read before! and thank u again for this sweet message, it really made my whole day so much better 🥹🩷🩷🩷
i feel like kpop fandom is so stressful lately like people are always rehashing the same discourse and getting upset over the same things. im a multistan so there's always a new comeback or new content to catch up on and i feel overwhelmeld. sorry for coming to vent to you but you've been in fandom for a long time so i was wondering how you handle it? if you feel this way too? sorry :(
omg dont apologize anon!! i very much understand where ur coming from and it's okay to vent here 🩷 idk if i have a good or helpful answer for u bc while i totally get that overwhelming feeling, im stuck in these fandom spaces for better or worse bc it is where my friends are and where i get a lot of joy, despite some of the annoyances lol.
but if things are stressing u out so much, there's never anything wrong with taking a step back. limit the amount of time u spend on twitter, chat with friends through a different means (kakaotalk, discord etc), and utilize ur mute/block functions to avoid topics u don't wanna see. ur fandom experience should be fun and should make u happy! even if it's just a weekend of no twitter that can be plenty of time to sort of reset! i've been trying to do that myself too. not everything needs to be consumed immediately when it comes out.
u got this anon! 💪 i hope u find a way to make fandom less stressful for u 🩷🩷
