Jado :( I know it's for the MV but sn was really punched.
hi hi! im the sunharem fic connoisseur that wrote the long winded analysis about how different sunoo ships seem to follow their own tropes that reflect real-life dynamics almost and to answer your question about which fic sunship i think if most like their irl selves i would probably have to say sunjake? majority of sunjake fics (and there aren't a lot sadly😞) have jake doting on sunoo and treating him sweetly which is a lot like how he treats sunoo irl. also i find it interesting most of the heesun angst fics have a storyline where heeseung is the one that fucks up which is kind of..... amusing? considering..... whatever happened between them. it's pretty interesting to see how fic writers interpret those real life events into story!
ooh i think i've only read like 2 sunjake fics to date so i will trust your judgement on that 😭 heesun is FOR SURE no doubt accurate to irl not bc he's fucked up their relationship but it's like lowkey an unspoken agreement that the angst is mostly coming from his side (controversial take?? i hope not lmao) and sunoo could do no wrong, idk. and i think it's definitely an attempt to patch up the heesun shaped hole in any heesunist's heart by drawing out the angst that mirrors real life. hehe this is a super interesting discussion!
one thing i noticed is that whenever they go to hold hands and bow,,, sh always looks over at sn for a split second before they do it and i think its to see if he has a mic in his hand or not 😞 he just wants to hold his hand
https://x.com/lovingsunsun/status/1855561088458473643/video/1 what makes me sob over this moment is how sunghoon glances over to check if sunoo's hand is free and—disregards his other side bc he's holding a mic anyway—makes sure his hand is ready and open, then firmly and readily clasps his hand around sunoo's. like, it could be an over-explained romanticised shipper moment but they've done these bows so many times that they don't have to be so rigid with the handholding. maybe it's sunghoon's need for precision or he likes the small gesture of reassurance that makes me focus on the way he reaches out and grips sunoo's hand. when you look at whoever's beside sunoo (sorry i don't rmb lol) it's a bit more haphazard grabbing for the other's hand-
***LMAO i just came back from scouring and watching videos of sunghoon hold hands with the members to bow and he's generally a firm hand holder idk what to say i feel like i wasted my time skjdfkgdjskgf help
and sunoo as ladybug HELLOOOOOOOO

he wanna be nonchalant so bad 🙄😭 https://x.com/anklebone33/status/1855569916931584312
i honestly hate how sunjαy is so underrated 😭 well… aside from their once in a blue moon oncam interactions, people barely talk about them and only see them as a bickering duo when they are so much more than that 🫠 i just wish more people are interested in their bond.
nooo babeee the sunjayists are out there!! but agreeably maybe not as loud as the other ships. i think also it has to do with the fact that sunjay have it easy, there's less push and pull bc they're comfortable with each other and open about it too. my heart always melts when i see how they talk about each other tho 🥺
i find it so sad how it’s getting increasingly difficult to enjoy their cbs with sn’s lack of lines and exposure every time 😭 no doubt is soooo amazing but i can’t find myself enjoying it as much as before, especially with the knowledge of sn’s mistreatment ☹️ i’m trying so hard but its soo depressing, i know it’s old news and that we shouldn’t really expect anything but it will always crush me whenever I imagine how HE feels….. i hate beshit SO much he deserves the entire universe :(
yeah my standards are nonexistent tbh, especially with how the company is clearly prioritising streams and numbers over a proper full length song where they're actually singing. not only sunoo but the rest of the members barely get to showcase their abilities especially in the two new songs this album. like, as much as i love the no doubt concept and the album's aesthetic, it's so obviously a desperate money grab with the two measly, stream-friendly tik-tok friendly songs and the 'events' for a signed album, on top of an ongoing new world tour, award show season, and their birthday. i don't think any of us expect anything at this point.
i think it’s fascinated how 3 of 6 are already using excuses to visit sunoo’s room

bad bitch to his left, bad bitch to his right, jake is living the dream (also him pulling on the back of sunoo's shirt to hold him close and sunoo being all giggly and playful gave me butterflies i will not lie)
the scene where jw has sn over his shoulder in the teaser….. what if he get bts of that and jw actually throws him over his shoulder and carries him around PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE
the video of the staff pulling sn by his ankles 😵💫😵💫😵💫 need a fic so badly
If I may add to the anon who is a connoisseur of sunoo fics, I'd say that ships common/general trope is also highly influenced by the most popular fics in the fandom. A trend, if you may. Real life is onviously a major factor, but authors also leave an impact or inspiration to the rest, especially to new authors coming in. Tropes that uniquely stand out and gain traction can easily set precedent to a new set of writers.
Granted, I'm basing this on my experience to my og ships, as a reader and writer myself, where I've seen how things played out in the last decade since I got into them.
It's actually very interesting and incredibly fascinating to witness if you remain long enough and the shipdom is still thriving.
ooh this is a great observation! you’re right that certain tropes can be popularised just from having bigger fics start out with them and creating this ripple effect of new fics inspired by the first. it’s pretty cool and great if you like that trope since you’ll get more of it. then eventually it becomes this sort of ‘label’ or what people identify with that shape. and i’d say anything that deviates or adheres to the norm are all welcome in the fandom :-)
When I think about Jay and Sunoo I think Sunoo considers him his safe space if that makes sense? Like home and comfortable. He’s always himself around him and never on edge.
sunoo is definitely the most comfortable around jay, partially bc jay has that effect on people, and i think he makes it the most clear that he’s always looking out for sunoo and has his best interests at heart. if we think of the time he moved sunoo away from the flying slipper or easily comforts him when he cries, they have the kind of unconditional relationship where sunoo can comfortably be however he wants to be and jay won’t treat him any different. i think as well that jay tends to take on a leading role, but in a way that doesn’t intimidate sunoo, hence why sunoo is more comfortable leaning on him at times.
Sharing dorms has really brought Jake and Sunoo closer! They were friendly before like always but now it’s more clinginess which makes me excited to see what Sunoo will post for Jake’s birthday
yeah i think it has too! i think jake enjoys being in sunoo’s company and being the one who gets to talk about sunoo’s habits too (sorry sunghoon), and sunoo is getting used to all the extra manhandling that he receives these days. hope sunoo has something good for jake’s bday this year 🤞🤞
Hmmm why am I imagining a cute little hangout with sn and nks mom… like them talking,eating,watching shows and doing skin c… — ah that's cute though i don't think i'd think that far lol. language barrier is a thing as well but i'm sure sunoo has a goo… https://retrospring.net/@moonstoneinrose/a/113420365022353010
Ah I’m didn’t think of that😅 either way I feel like they would still have a cute relationship with sn
