Happy Birthday, Yoongi! ♡ (1993.03.09)

Happy Anniversary Dia! Thank you for your fics and your presence on this site💛 for the event: 📜 I would love to see a moodboard for my fic Esati from you! It's a Jungkook x reader fantasy story with action and magical elements. The world building gives lowkey dnd (that's what I've been told lol) and the plot revolves around our oc joining hands with JK and going on this journey to find out about the events in her past and present, discovering what her real identity is. It's a couple chapters in rn. Thank you 💜💜

Thank you for submitting your work!

I'm sorry this took forever, but the past month have been crazy busy for me. People might know this already, but I'm a huge sucker for fantasy stories. I read the published chapters and I personally LOVED IT!!!! I really can't wait to see how you're going to build this up because it's already so good.

here's your moodboard, based on chapter 1 and the initial premise I caught from the summary. I hope you'll love it!

"Who are you?" Dark-lined eyes locked with your wide ones. His grin faded, and instead his mouth attained a genuine, friendly quirk. "Intelligence gathered and former mercenary," he offered his hand in greeting, "Jeon Jungkook." As you stared at his extended hand and up at his face, you came to a conclusion. One your subconscious had already realised the moment he appeared at your door.  Wherever you go after this, it won't be back home. From Esati by @meadowsweetskoo

9 and 10

ooh yeah I do have both my earlobes pierced and a small gold stud on the left of my nose. As for more piercings I do want to get a helix on my right and both my upper lobes done!

send me a question!

i hate how you get desensitized to the cool stuff in your WIP if you've been writing it for a long time so when you read back over it you're like "this isn't as cool as i thought :(" but it still is! you just read it too many times

This was something I was think too, you put it into words.

You know, I'm really really curious to see how post-enlistment BTS is going to sound thematically-wise.

In these past 2/3 years, they all had the chance to get uncomfortably honest and, for lack of a better term, liberal, in the way they explore their own sound, in a way we got to see very little of previously. We got the rapline fleshing out their work, and the vocal line braving into full-fledged solo stuff for the first time.

Hoseok, who keeps refining and pushing the boundaries of his sound. Who found his footing and is making it his own. The boy who was born for the stage finally gets to be on the spotlight as himself, standing on the shoulders of BTS's j-hope but going back to his roots as Hoseok.

Yoongi and Joon, who already have an incredibly rich discography, and are digging deeper into themselves - there's healing, there's catharsis, there's grief for a past self and hope for a new one. Between Yoongi's Suchwita and Joon's work on RPWP, there's a lot of conversations about life as an artist and as an ordinary person, about mental health and identity, the creative process, about leaving your youth behind and coming to terms with adulthood and the loneliness it brings.

Jin, Jimin and Jungkook who have finally ventured into longer bodies of work, who have finally got to explore who they are (as musical artists) outside and beyond the Bangtan umbrella. Jin especially with this upcoming tour and all the entertainment content he's been a part of, and gets to do things his own way.

Tae, who went the other way and invested in his relationships, who showed us more of himself not through music, but through the way he conducts himself with his friends, outside of the stage.

As Bangtan, they have always been very vocal about all of these, but it's the first time they all got to live life aa creatives on their own. There is a newer, better collective understanding of themselves and each other, and a new layer of maturity and transparency, which has been beautiful to witness it unfold.

I'm so very looking forward to see all of this new knowledge and experience being brought into BTS, and how the new chapter will reflect that once they get together again. Personally I feel like the MOTS series was the perfect mesh of their individual identities and sounds (which makes sense since it was the last Big Thing they did pre-covid that wasn't just a compilation of things like Proof. BE was great but had a very distinct sound and purpose under the Covid context), and if their recent solo work is anything to go by, we are going to see a completely new version of BTS that is bound to surpass all we know from them so far.

JUNG HOSEOK HAVE MERCY 🤯🤯🤯

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

We’re back! 

Last October, I held a small event to celebrate my birthday and may have promised to bring it back during my blog anniversary this year. It’s a bit late, as the anniversary was supposed to happen early March, but after all the support and love you’ve given me, and your kind help during my troubled time, I decided to still hold this small(er) event to celebrate and show my gratitude. I hope you’ll join me again this time around!

Just like how I ended the previous event, I will close the event with a masterpost of all my creations and a playlist filled with the songs included during the event (both the ones you send me or the ones I pick for you) that we can all enjoy together.

Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile As I'm walking down the corridor And I know we haven't talked in a while So I'm looking for an open door

Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste I once was a man with dignity and grace Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace So please, please

Could you find a way to let me down slowly? A little sympathy, I hope you can show me If you wanna go, then I'll be so lonely If you're leaving, baby, let me down slowly

Ooh I wanna make this into a fic I'm getting ideas (someone stop me pls lol)

Tagging: @taevescence , @kooko009 , and anyone else who wants to join!

rules: you’re starring in a movie with the last person saved in your camera roll, and the last song you listened to is the title… who/what is it?

okay so just an entire movie of sad

You're just like a Butterfly From afar, I steal glances; if we touch hands, will I lose you? You shine in this pitch darkness that is the butterfly effect Your light touches, I forget the reality at once

Will you stay by my side Will you promise me If I let go of your hand, you'll fly away and break I'm scared scared scared of that Will you stop time If this moment passes As though it hadn't happened I’m scared scared scared I'll lose you

thanks for the tag @yoongihan <3
