hi hello holy moly i've been gone a while but look!!! i bring you prompts! and these are MONTHS old according to my notes app! but basically i'm two weeks and four days away from returning to my home country, and my mother sent me some tea from home, and i just got thinking about the sheer power of a cup of tea, yk? anyway! here it is! and here are my conditions! DO NOT ADD OR CHANGE THIS LIST! and also feel free to add "REVERSE" if you want to switch the rolls, i suppose!
[ COLD ]: With a notable drop in temperatures, the sender makes some tea for themself and the receiver, if not for drinking then for the warmth and comfort of holding the mugs in their chilled hands.
[ SHOCK ]: Having found a most-definitely-in-shock receiver, the sender makes a big, strong, and immensely sweet cup of tea for them in order to restore them a little bit.
[ ANOTHER ]: While preparing a cup for themself, the sender makes a second cup for the receiver in a polite and low-effort gesture towards them.
[ FIX ]: The sender, realizing the receiver is genuinely upset about something, comforts them and makes some tea in the hopes of lifting their spirits some bit.
[ WEARY ]: After a mutually extensive day, the sender and receiver return home, and the sender prepares some tea as a soothing introduction to their bedtime routine.
[ BETTER? ]: The sender, at a loss for how to approach the receiver who has clearly endured a very difficult time, decides to make some tea in an effort to console them and possibly encourage them to talk about it.
[ GUEST ]: The sender welcomes the receiver into their home with open arms and two strong mugs of tea. (There may also be food of some kind, that's for you to decide!)
[ WHY NOT? ]: The sender prepares some tea for both themself and the receiver, not out of any great need or want, but because their default setting is making tea and frankly they can't see any harm in it either way.
[ DECAF ]: The sender subtly intervenes in the receiver's sleep schedule by bringing them a cup of tea rather than a cup of coffee in the hopes that they might get some sleep that night.
[ TRY ]: The sender just received a new kind of tea, and prepares some for themself and the receiver because who better to share the experience with than the receiver?
[ COPING ]: In the aftermath of some terrible and life-changing news, the sender busies their self with preparing some tea to give themselves something to do other than think about what's just happened.
[ INSTINCT ]: Something isn't quite right with the receiver, and the sender knows it. In order to get them to open up, the sender prepares some tea.
[ REFRESHMENT ]: Someone made cookies, and what is a cookie without a cup of tea? The receiver won't need to find out; the sender is already making a cup as we speak.
[ TEA ]: The receiver has just arrived with some particularly excellent and scandalous gossip; the sender, unwilling to let the receiver's voice dry out during the revelation, prepares some tea to go with it.
[ RELAX ]: After a particularly stressful day, the sender prepares some tea so that they can finally begin to relax and unwind in the evening.
[ OLIVE BRANCH ]: The receiver is angry with the sender; the cup of tea is just the sender's cautious attempts to heal the relationship.

â Whatâs your response to rumors that youâve secretly dated older men in the industry? â
â Do you ever worry that your fans donât actually know the real you? â
IDOL
â Haha yeah Iâm fine. Just crying in the company bathroom stall again, itâs basically part of the schedule at this point. â
â If one more person tells me to âjust smile more,â I will simply evaporate into the void. â
â I love being called a ânational treasureâ while my mental health is actively being repossessed. â
â I have an angelic voice? Yeah I better, I sold my soul two comebacks ago. â
â Haha no worries, I didnât want free will anyway. â
â I canât remember the last time I was just⌠myself. â
â They donât love me, they love the version of me Iâve been forced to play. â
â Every smile I give feels like a mask I canât take off. â
â Iâm surrounded by fans, but Iâve never felt lonelier. â
â Iâve given them everything, and somehow itâs still never enough. â
â When the lights go out, I feel like I disappear too. â
â I thought this stage would be my dream, but it feels more like a cage. â
â Theyâve taken my voice, my image, my life⌠and left me with nothing. â
â Iâm tired of being perfect for everyone else. â
â I canât keep pretending Iâm okay just because people need me to smile. â
â I look in the mirror and donât recognize whoâs staring back at me. â
â Iâm not sure anyone remembers who I was before the fame. â
â Sometimes I wonder if my smile looks more serial killer or more hostage situation. â
â If I collapse on stage, just tell them it was part of the choreography. â
â Yeah Iâm totally living the dream ⌠if the dream is capitalism in glitter. â
â Why do fans keep saying I look tired? Bestie, thatâs not a look, thatâs a lifestyle. â
â Every time I bow, Iâm also spiritually collapsing. Multi-tasking queen. â
â The company said âno dating,â so now Iâm in a committed relationship with burnout. â
â If I smile any harder, my jaw is going to file for workers comp. â
â Sometimes I wonder if disappearing would even matter⌠or if theyâd just replace me. â
â I canât tell if Iâm loved or if Iâm just entertainment. â
â Sure Iâm loved by millions, but can I be loved by a nap? â
â My therapist said I should set boundaries, and I told her I donât have the rights to those. â
â Yeah, Iâm fine. By fine I mean emotionally concussed but still sparkly. â
â Who needs therapy when you have a fandom shipping you with your bandmates? â
â Donât worry, if I burn out completely, the company will just rebrand me as a tragic backstory. â
â I canât believe people ship me with my bandmate⌠actually, never mind, I totally can. â
â The fans think Iâm secretly dating someone but I donât even have time to secretly sleep. â
â Honestly, if youâre going to stalk me, at least buy merch first. Support small businesses. â
â Imagine being accused of having a sugar daddy when I canât even afford boba. â
â The company told me to act innocent, but my resting face is literally âguilty.â â
â Dating scandal? No, babe, Iâm just socially awkward and stood too close. â
â Honestly, if I get canceled, I hope itâs for something cool. Like summoning demons. â
â I canât wink without breaking someoneâs heart. Itâs a gift and a curse. â
â I stayed up all night thinking of captions⌠still none were worthy of my brilliance. â
â I think people think Iâm mysterious, but I honestly just forgot my lines again. â
â Cute? Yeah. Innocent? Absolutely not. â
â Honestly, I donât even have competition. I am the standard. â
â They should be grateful just to breathe the same air as me. â
â I donât practice to improve. I practice so I donât get bored. â
â Every stage is mine the second I step on it. â
â The industry doesnât deserve me, but here I am anyway. â
â You canât rush art, and I am⌠art. â
â Donât tag me in that picture, my hair looks criminal. â
â Which angle makes me look more like a legend? Left or left? â
â Hi! Hi! Did you eat? Drink water? Stretch?? â
â Iâm just happy to be hereâactually no, Iâm thrilled! â
â Oh my gosh, I love your outfit, itâs so⌠you! â
â I baked cookies! Donât ask if theyâre edible, just take one! â
â Lifeâs too short to frown, so smile with me, okay? â
â Pretty stage dresses feel like straightjackets. â
â Wanna arm wrestle? No cameras, I just want to prove I can. â
â I clean up well, but donât get used to it. â
â Ugh, Iâm not leaving this couch for less than a paycheck. â
â Want me to carry that for you? No, really, itâs like a warm-up set. â
â If I miss one workout, I feel like Iâm betraying my muscles. â
â Iâm everyoneâs sweetheart on stage, everyoneâs nightmare off stage. â
â I promise Iâll be my best self⌠eventually. â
â Sure, Iâll wear the dress. Just donât expect me to sit still in it. â
â You think I look scary? Good. Means youâre paying attention. â
â Iâm not here to be soft. Iâm here to be unforgettable. â
â My parents told me to âtone it down,â so I got louder. â
â Donât call me delicate. Iâll break before I bend. â
â If confidence looks like arrogance, then fine, Iâm arrogant. â
â My favorite accessory is attitude. â
â If I donât fit the mold, maybe the mold is the problem. â
MANAGER
â Youâre adorable. Youâre also an insomniac menace. Balance that. â
â Smile like youâre happy, not like youâre plotting a homicide please. â
â I know you secretly hate the fluffy photo shoots but can you please just cooperate? â
â Stop arguing with the choreographer. Just dance. â
â The outfit isnât negotiable. You look fine. Stop sulking. â
â I know you think itâs unfair but the schedule doesnât bend for anyone. â
â Stop staring at the fans like that. Youâre making them uncomfortable. â
â I donât want excuses about the lines. Youâve had weeks to memorize them. â
â Hydrate. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. If you skip one, you ruin everything. â
â I donât care if youâre ânot feeling itâ get out there and perform. â
â This isnât personal. Youâre just part of a machine. Handle it. â
â You think I donât notice you skipping meals? Eat. For me. â
â Stop staring at your phone. Iâm worried youâre overthinking every comment. â
â Get your rest tonight. No, seriously. I mean it. Sleep. â
â Youâre going to be cranky tomorrow if you donât eat. Trust me, the fans donât want a cranky performance. â
â I know youâre anxious about the performance, but youâre not allowed to talk yourself out of it. â
â I know you want to do everything perfectly, but youâre human. Even the fans know that. â
â Stop rolling your eyes. Youâre not the only one stressed. And yes, Iâm stressed too. â
â You can complain, sulk, or glare at me all you want but Iâm not letting anything happen to you out there. â
â I can see youâre frustrated. Letâs take five, breathe, and then kill that stage. â
â If you stumble on stage, it wonât be the end of the world. Iâll still be proud of you. â
â I can see how exhausted you are, and it terrifies me. Please⌠rest. â
â You donât have to be perfect. You just have to be you, and thatâs enough for me. â
â If you cry tonight, Iâll sit with you. I donât care where or when. â
RIVALS
â Congrats on the win⌠must feel nice to finally beat us once. â
â Cute choreography. Did your mommy help with that? â
â Oh, you call that singing live? Brave. â
â Enjoy the spotlight while it lasts. Weâll be taking it back. â
â Donât get too comfortable. The charts wonât coddle you for long. â
â Wow, matching outfits again? Original. â
â Nice try. We did it first, and better. â
â Keep practicing. Maybe one day youâll reach our level. â
â Oh, you won? Congrats. The pity votes really came through. â
â That fan chant sounded weak. Guess ours drowned yours out. â
â Funny how youâre always âinspiredâ by us. â
â Do you even remember what itâs like to win first place? â
â Thanks for being our opening act. You really warm up the crowd. â
â Weâre not rivals. Youâre just chasing our shadow. â
â Smile while you can. Scandals donât stay buried forever. â
â Donât confuse popularity with talent. â
â Better luck next comeback. Or the one after. Or⌠the one after that. â
â Try not to trip over our leftovers. â
â It must be exhausting, always running after us. â
â Cute fanbase youâve got. Shame half of them stream our songs too. â
â Oh, you looked so⌠energetic up there. Really gave it your all. â
â That high note was bold. Not everyone could pull that off. â
â Your concept this album feels⌠familiar. DĂŠjĂ vu, maybe. â
â Itâs cute how hard youâre working to keep up. â
â Youâve really improved since your debut. Still a little rough, but progress. â
â Your fans must be proud you tried. â
â That outfit was daring. Personally, Iâd never risk it. â
â Oh, youâre trending! Even if itâs not for your music. â
â Your performance was⌠refreshing. I canât say Iâve ever seen something like that before. â
â Your choreography looks exhausting. Weâd never put our members through that. â
â The passion you bring to the stage almost distracts from the mistakes. Almost. â
â Youâve really carved out your own little niche. Itâs⌠adorable. â
â We love how unique your styling is. It really stands out in the industry. â
â That concept must have been hard for you to pull off. Good effort, though. â
â Youâve really nailed the art of making the most out of very little. â
â So glad to see you guys getting recognition at last. â
â Youâve got such dedicated fans. Itâs sweet how much they support you. â
â Every group has their strengths. Yours are⌠well, different. â
â You definitely gave people something to talk about. â
