thank you sooo much, it's not too much at all and very appreciated! im going to have to check out the other songs by ran raiten as the no.1 in e major is soooo comforting, i saw there were other lullaby ones!!! i loved it a lot. avid is also going straight into my playlist, the strings in this and the singing... i also just love this instrumental A LOTTT thank you for this i love it :DD. moments is actually the exact kind of song i was looking for! im trying to get the vibes for this fic im writing and i think this suits it very much hehe. thank you for all of these recs, i appreciate them (and am very happy to find some new great songs for my playlist :DDD) (i ofc love cover me, too!!)

okay like i prefaced for the other ones im not posting it on twitter to keep from bringing this debate back up again but i also did want to just delete your message.

i do think we shouldn't generalize bc like there are some annoying bottom minho enjoyers, there are also annoying bottom jisung enjoyers, you know? like all communities all will have people who just don't know how to behave or stay in their own way. i'm sure you don't generalize but it does come across that way! i do agree there are a lot of people who are for bottom minho who do act like they are better (there are many people who have been proof of that) and i agree it is very very very annoying to deal with esp when it stems into putting people who are for bottom jisung down just bc they don't have that many fics or people for bottom minho it is... definitely annoying which is why i don't hold back from telling people when they annoy me hahah. i do think jisung isn't as delicate as people try to make him seem to be and i'm sure you didn't mean it in a bad way but each one of them are pretty strong (minded and physically imo bc hello they do all that dancing stuff i could never do myself HSKDJFD). i think its absolutely nuts in my opinion to pinpoint different traits onto members when they are simply human beings. we don't even know what way they would like to be seen if that makes sense. like top/bottom discourse is a crazy thing to have when we do not know these men, you know? like we are fans and we use them creatively so to have arguments about them like they are characters is just..... like idk its wild! i do think they need to look inside and figure out why they are so offended (we all should look inside when we are offended by things that we really don't need to be, you know?) !!!!

hiii thank you so much again for being so patient with me ive been thinking about this so much bc i was taking forever </3 but here we are!!! i started this last night but ended up reading some fics bc i realized i haven’t actually read a lot of childhood friends to lovers au’s despite writing one myself loll and then i fell asleep and got busy but here we are sorry this took me almost a WEEK like that’s crazy u r so patient yayyayyy thank you

so im starting out with probably the shortest on the list third wheel by bitsori. it’s told from chngbn’s perspective and it is just sooo cute. it’s a cute story that i enjoyed reading, really lighthearted!
okay next intro i have talked about this fic so many times because this is actually one of my favorite fics ever. it is just sooooo i don’t even know how to say it’s just so heartfelt and ive read it probably 100 times and the first timme i read it took forever because i read it so slow to savor every second but it’s seven minutes by bingchillen, literally everything written by them is just. midas touch i swear.
next is a fic i read last night can i call you baby? (in front of love) by taotu it was really good. jsvng realizes while living with mnho (after dating their girl best friend like … his whole life) that he isn’t as straight as he thought and it’s cute. i liked it and always enjoy taotu’s writing !
echoes of youth by higayimdad is one i haven’t read yet but it looks promising (i actually thought i had read it but apparently i have not) (i will be soon though). it’s a childhood friends to lovers roadtrip fic!!! which i love roadtrips and fics and hopefully you like this hehe.
another one i have talked about before but it’s childhood friends so the next time around by glissandos. this is especially good if you enjoy magical realism and time travel!!! i enjoyed it a lot despite not normally reading magical realism, it was extremely fun and the very beginning had hooked me right away!
another one i haven’t read but am interested in i belong with you, you belong with me by brittleheart. jsvng is a dad and there is christmas from what i can see. i skimmed a little and the writing looks great too so i hope you enjoy it, hehe!!
okay i think i haven’t actually read any other childhood friend aus LOL but this one swim+blue by lucasfletcher looks good plus it’s a sports au (swimming) and imo sports au’s are sooooo fun hehe !!
sorry i didn’t have more to add, i was trying to make it long for you because i had to make you wait so long but unfortunately have realized i need to read more childhood friends to lovers like why have i notttt. i hope these fics are to your liking!!!!

okay, i’m not posting this on twitter just so we don’t start the debate back up but i didn’t want to not reply to you, i /gen hope it doesn’t seem like i’m trying to keep this away just because our opinions differ if that makes sense!! i just don’t want to spark things back !!

that being said, both parties are always at fault. like i mean this genuinely both have things to fix and i admit that, i have seen a couple tweets like that and ive never interacted with it because i didn’t agree. i would like to know where OP’s comments had that /gen bc i had gone back and hadn’t found stuff about bottom mnho being a sin/other things like that so i do /gen want to know. i see what you mean though, and see how it could have been taken offensively. that being said, i don’t know why i even let that be brought (me personally, that was a fault of mine) up bc that wasn’t even what i wanted to pick on about — i was frustrated by the overused idea that people like bottom jsvng bc he has more “feminine” traits than others as if being either a bottom or feminine is something to be ashamed of. i do not equate feminine to meaning bottom the same way i don’t equate masculine to mean top; i also do not think we should assign “masculine” or “feminine” traits to actual humans because they both have all the traits because they are . Human.

i hope this all made sense. i think we could all ease up on debates on what a bottom/top is. we should ease up and just . Have fun. and i am taking this to let myself improve and not let stupid tweets get to me because i feel a lot better when i don’t interact with things as such. probably won’t be set for a next round because i find its pointless to talk about. i’m here to have fun and that’s what i will do :) i hope this answer was okay and i appreciate you taking the time to tell me the side that you see!
