this is really cute!! i also think there's something so fun about someone lovingly acknowledging that you update slowly and that they're okay with that. it's engaging with you on a real level. very sweet.
underrated is how cathartic the "hide post for me" button is. there's something very soothing about sending harmless things that annoy you to the shadow realm in a way that doesn't impact anyone else.
the older i get the more i believe we seek out repeats of our relationship patterns. i think there's something to like, feeling a sense of safety and connection with people who interact with you in ways that you're used to being interacted with. it's like you already know how to talk to one another!
RM is surreal on a brown tee, spiked blonde hair, and a sparkle of light reflecting off his glasses.
RM holds out his arm to control the mood, Jedi style. These are the boys you're looking for.

i think takedown especially became this really big thing in my head when it started out so silly. but i've been making a big effort recently to just make choices on my own and commit to them, and that feels really good!
the beautiful flip side of being insufferable to SOMEone is to be loved by someone else ๐ญ๐ค๐ซถ
(and for the record, i've decided that yes, what i think of as a personal style IS insufferable to some people, and also that ANY personal style WILL be insufferable to SOMEone, and that that's good and fine actually, that's actually what all art and personal taste is ABOUT, ok thank u ๐ซก)
i'm relieved that i was able to write something and that i feel good about it (in this moment!) and feedback after it's up will be so appreciated, bc part of me is def like "have i lost The Juice, did i ever have The Juice, is what i think of as a personal style simply insufferable" et ceteraaa ๐ค
it's hard for me to know where to talk about this. i don't want to attach it to the fic itself, bc i don't think undercutting your own writing on the writing itself makes for a good reading experience. but at the same time, it was a huge struggle for me and i wanted to come out of it for so long!
i'm feeling calmer about the whole takedown thing than i thought i would, considering i spent over a year hating everything i wrote and feeling very tortured and bitter about the whole endeavor. and the longer i went without posting, the more it got built up in my head as this momentous thing.
everything is drafted and formatted and moodboarded, look out for it tomorrow ๐ซจ๐ซจ๐ซจ๐ซจ๐ซจ
a slightly blurry screencap of jungkook, wearing a short-sleeved collared shirt and tie, looking off to the side. he looks broad and slightly disheveled in a sexy office worker kinda way.
jungkook in the same outfit, again slightly blurry, in profile with his mouth open so you can see his square-tipped nose and big teeth and hoop earrings. everything is fine.
scrolled past these on the bird app, said "oh my god" out loud
digital illsutration of jungkook and RM from BTS, jungkook is holding onto RM's shoulder and has his right foot up

Thank you Seokjin for this definitive proof of Jungkook's babygirlism ๐ซ
idk about accounts of anyone involved in organizing (any suggestions, blue?), but here's the tweet i made over there! x.com/clarz/status...
it's always the most random things that break containment on bsky, it's so jarring lol
and if i cry in FRONT of people suddenly they're paying attention to me and they're worried about me and there's nothing i hate more than that ๐ i can't count the number of times i've had a conversation and been like "can we just pretend that i'm not crying right now" lmao
i really relate to that! i'm a big believer in writing things down and/or saying them out loud when i'm dealing with big feelings. i think there's a way in which things become more real and more clear when you externalize them. i'm talking to my bf a lot and my brother is coming over later today ๐๐ซ
okay this is also takedown namkook
this is so boy scout
unacceptable!! we have not planned for this ๐ค
