I vote for I.N.

Hyunjin, afterward: I had the strangest dream...that you let me sleep in your armpit and chew on your hair....

I.N: wow, crazy

Playing the 4th symphony in my provincial youth orchestra was in fact how I learnt Tchaikovsky was gay.

So much social grooming in that house, mites wouldn't last five minutes

Also me whenever anybody tries to daddy-code a kpop

Seeing Taemin's performance made me remember this conversation I once had. He hits all the beats, but seems to have more time to do so than anyone else. So he hits the beats with a flourish there, an artistic touch here as if he had time to fill until the world is ready to catch up with him.

I'm still obsessed with your "nesting quilt as courtship gift" idea, though. That slots riiiight in next to all the juiciest, hurt/comfortiest omegaverse tropes.

Aha, found it. It had some neat stuff about fashion, too, to bring it back to textiles. Wearing a diaphanous scarf instead of a nice, modest collar over your scent gland is risqué, for eg. 😆

Imagine if all those jetliners and stadiums and shopping malls were built during the golden age of miracle drugs, and imagine the board meetings after the FDA recalls started rolling in.

A fic I read a while ago had an incredible throwaway worldbuilding line that went something like, "Ah, remember the good old days before we realized scent-blocking drugs were carcinogenic?"

Yes! The reams of omegaverse in my current fandom have had me thinking about ARCHITECTURE. So much of it is, "And then he dragged some blankets and his boyfriend's sweatshirt into the closet," when any respectable pack mansion would surely have, like, bowers.

Totally agree, I love a bodge!

I appreciate your verb choice.

Wondering what the bell sound is about in No. 29 of BTS's Arirang? Only the most treasured bell of all bells in Korea. This is the 성덕대왕신종, The Sacred Bell of Great King Seongdeok, that now resides in... TikTok video by Jinwoo Park

The history and cultural significance of the bell in No. 29, a collaboration with the National Museum of Korea, the museum foundation, and HYBE. This bell was rung in Sept. 2025; 1st time in 22 yrs. So, they basically preserved the sound forever in No. 29.

And I think the paler iris is more elegant and will contrast more prettily with whatever's adjacent to it.

Between those oranges, I'd go with the lighter, BUT that's because it's confidently itself, whereas the darker one doesn't go hard enough. My parents had a rich terracotta colour in their living room and it was stunning. So if you're leaning dark, get a couple even darker samples and do swatches.

Shipping might be a crapshoot these days, but...Etsy?

That's poetry.

Ahh this is tasty!

Holy moly, a beautiful stranger podficced my hockey cottage fic! (Not that hockey cottage!)

Incredible job, nailed the mood (fluffy. yeah, no, fluffier than that), nailed the music choices (so soppy, but Jack would love that shit), got all my jokes! Eeeee! 💕

Beautiful! That pattern is so satisfying.

Adding it to my list of proposed seminars that also includes "If You Must Eat Goddamned Chicken Breast, Here's How" and "Circadian Biology 101."

It's true! Both the hair and the make-up make him look wrung out and bloodshot, and the clothes don't fit. Don't they know the plebes all read Menswear Guy now?

It must have been either X-Files on Gossamer or Austen on Republic of Pemberley.

Minsung on a mission to get Chan well laid would be SO GOOD.

(Chanlix endgame where Chan wrings his hands and explains what he let them do and Felix is like, "Oh yah, bro, same!" lol)

So Felix sparked the thought, but. I just think! Minsung as a team would be kind of incredible at taking care of any other member. They're so in sync, and have such a singular pooled set of strengths -- humor, experience, sweetness, ruthlessness...

There's a tiny moment in the last Code when the fortune teller urges Felix to ask for help when he's sad and Han blurts, "Yes! Come to me!" Ever since, I've been craving h/c fic that starts with Felix mustering the courage to do that and ends with him blissed out in the middle of a Minsung sandwich.

It's been less than 24 hours since I swooned over how good you are at setting a mood?! Oh my gosh I stand by it.
