fandom is a lot more fun when your goal isn’t to be “that big, popular account” within the fandom but just to have fun and talk about what brings you comfort and happiness by the way

my daily affirmation as an author

[aetsiv]

i think because of the whole "writers write for themselves" notion that's becoming increasingly popularized, people forget that we still thrive off interaction and kindness. i write for myself but kudos and comments and bookmarks and really any sort of interaction with my fics genuinely motivates me to keep writing and keep sharing my works.

Maybe it’s because I’m older than most KPDH fans but to ME Celine reads like a parent of a gay kid that is terrified over their safety.

Because, yeah, we’ve all talked about Rumi’s arc feeling like a classic coming out story but I think people forget that there are more reactions to coming out besides ‘ unconditional acceptance’ and ‘getting kicked out’

Celine is afraid for Rumi. She’s raising a child she knows is different, that there’s something about her that others won’t/can’t understand, that there is a high level of danger involved if Rumi stopped pretending.

I’ve made posts about how Celine’s own issues caused problems in her relationship with Rumi but I think her lack of being about to speak about her fears involving Rumi’s safety caused problems too. Rumi assumes Celine doesn’t love her because she can’t handle even looking at her patterns but really I think Celine is terrified of Rumi’s ‘weaknesses’ because she doesn’t know how to deal with them.

If Rumi just keeps hiding she’ll eventually become normal and most of all; she’ll be safe. It’s not really a part of her, it can’t be because if it is then it means Rumi’s life is endangered forever and Celine simply can’t handle that. Again, it boils down to her thinking that Rumi’s safety is more important than her happiness.

zoey teaching her girls to skate!!

[maybe-this-is-bad-idea]

LISTEN

I love all the girls, okay?! I mean how can you not?!

But can I talk about a Mira for a second? Because like imagine if this movie was out like 10 or 5 years ago and how much would be different? Especially the girls and their characters.

Honestly when the movie started I thought they would go for the same trope as the power puff girls with each of them having one character trait that they use throught the movie. I mean even their backstory would fit and work for that.

But man was it different.

From the start Mira was a lot more than the stoic, sarcastic archetype that I feared she would be. She is funny, girly, loves their fans as much as other girls and more importantly loves her girls so much. And she doesn't hide it. It isn't some secret, she isn't being mean, making sarcastic jokes or creating tension out of thin air. No she loves them and neither Rumi nor Zoey question it. Nobody who watched the movie would say oh there is main character, cute bubbly character and one who loves their group but is too afraid to show it. NO! Mira shows it!

And how she shows it? In the second half of the movie she is reaching out to Rumi to figure out what's wrong. Multiple times. She tries and fails. And isn't that great how the movie doesn't use Zoey as a bridge between girls just because? Isn't that great how writers give all the girls personality and traits and humanize them and treats them with as much care and respect as they do Rumi and Jinu.

Anyway thanks everyone who worked for such a project. Thank you writers for creating a movie about these three instead of just Rumi and Jinu ( which is the case so much). And oh I have so much more to discuss but this post is too long already.

i love to imagine the kind of bilingual shenanigans that first happened when Zoey got to Korea and met the girls and was fully immersed in a country that's all in Korean

she grew up speaking Korean at home, but i can imagine English is what she spoke the most when just being out and about in Burbank so that's just what she was most comfortable with in more social situations that didn't involve her family

so when she first got to Korea and started hanging out with the girls, she'll be explaining something while very excited and just forget that they don't speak English. and she's just going on and on until she looks at their faces and the utter lack of comprehension she finds there is what makes her realize they aren't catching anything

or Mira will ask her a question and she responds completely in English without thinking about it and Mira's just like "Zoey. babes."

of course, after the multiple years of being in the group, it happens less and less (she still mainly raps in English bc she's just quicker at it with the added bonus of it sounding cool) but now she just does the thing where she forgets a word or a whole phrase in Korean and just says it in English

"hey, Mir, can you get me the (word in English) from my bathroom?"

"...get the what from your bathroom?"

"the (in English again)...uh, blow...hair."

"(in Korean) you mean the hair dryer?"

"(in Korean) YES, THE HAIR DRYER."

eventually they get to a point where Mira and Rumi have heard Zoey speak English enough to where they're just kinda able to figure out what she's saying based off context but they have no actual grasp of the words

she'll count in English bc it's just quicker for her

and all the USAmerican idioms that just don't translate well into another language

Rumi walks into the studio

"hey, Zoey, what's wrong?"

"it's this song, it's so frustrating. i feel like i'm running around like a headless chicken."

"headless...HUH?"

"running around like a headless chicken..."

"?!?"

"i can't figure out what to do next."

"oh...that's such a weird way to say that, what the hell?"

Let me be CLEAR.

HATING ON FANFICTION WILL NEVER BE VALID.

It is a labour of love. IT IS NOT FOR YOU. MOST OF THE TIMES, THE AUTHOR WRITES IT FOR THEMSELVES OR FOR THEIR MUTUALS. IT'S NOT A MONETIZED SERVICE THEREFORE YOU HAVE NO GROUNDS TO HATE ON THE STORY OR THE AUTHOR.

Can you critique it? Sure. Can you offer new perspectives about the storyline or characters? Sure.

BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GET ON SOCMED LIKE IG AND TIKTOK AND CRITICISE AN AUTHOR FOR A FANFIC YOU DIDNT LIKE. THATS PEAK ENTITLEMENT AND YOU DONT DESERVE ANY OF IT. FANFIC AUTHORS OWE YOU NOTHING.

As it concerns the recent Ao3 issue with people binding and SELLING (monetizing work that's not theirs/copyright) fanfics, IT IS ILLEGAL.

STOP MONETIZING FANFIC! ITS NOT YOURS! THE CHARACTERS & UNIVERSE DO NOT BELONG TO YOU. THEY BELONG TO WHATEVER FRANCHISE/COMPANY WHICH HAS THE RIGHTS TO THEM!

Y'ALL WILL NOT RUIN AO3 FOR ME.
