Where to start?? Love, At Least by @l-tyrell is probably my favourite Beyond Evil fic out there. Not only is it just outstanding, with on-brand characterisation, beautiful pacing, and gorgeous one-liners that I could only dream to achieve one day but it is also just so up my street. Historical gay drama? Uhm. Yes, please, and thank you.
I have been chatting with Cay about L, AL ever since she first posted about wanting to write it in the BE tag. It has seriously been such an honour to discuss plot points and just word-vomit my opinions at her and have her not once get sick of my ramblings. Also, I get snippets before the rest of you (she says, oh, so smugly), so I'm the luckiest reader here.
L, AL is currently 20 chapters long with over 100K words, and I don't believe enough people on this site are losing their minds over it. So, I decided that a piece of fiction of this calibre deserves its own poster. My design doesn't do justice to the thought, planning, time and effort Cay has put into her work. But I hope it interests you enough to check it out if you haven't yet. You won't be disappointed!
Cay, thank you for writing L, AL. What you have achieved should be praised and celebrated! You make writing 100K look easy, even though I know it wasn't. I'm so excited to see where you take the story next and if it's what I think it is... Well, everyone is in for it 👀You're honestly such a kind, considerate, and downright hilarious person who is seriously blessing us with your work. On a more personal note, thank you for always being so encouraging and thoughtful! 😊🙌
Some design notes:
Yes, my poster's design is inspired by the Warriors of the Dawn poster. What can I say?? That design fucking rocks- how could I not do a homage? lol. Here we have jwds, Han Ki Hwan, Joo Won's mum, Yu Yeon, lotus flowers, the throne, smoke and fire and just all levels of drama. Yeah, I can only see the parts I don't like but I'm not going to keep playing around with it.
Additional note:
The Korean text says, "I stayed for you" (or as best I could translate it), which is a line taken from chapter 14.
seriously Bo has been WAY TOO KIND about my lil fic right from the start (well, ok, it’s not so little anymore!), but when I saw this art and read this post……oh boy 🥹
thank you so much for always listening and encouraging even my most unhinged ideas, it has been such a joy talking about writing with you ☺️ you have made this story incalculably better in so many ways!!!
and for all the people who have read any amount of love, at least, or anyone who even gives it a try, y’all are the best! thanks for joining me on this wild wild ride ☺️💜
I saw on insta this morning a reel of a woman who's been hosting a dinner party for friends for the past two years show snap shots of the parties each month for the last year. and I'm interested in that in general, I'd like to start hosting more. so I go into the comments and there are just some rank ass ppl saying things like "oh so you're rich rich" and "some of us don't have money." Is it fun living so miserably?
maybe im too broke but if you can afford to host a dinner party every month thats fucking rich, unless you're hosting a potluck, dinner parties are fucking expensive
you're the one criticizing poor folks for being irritated that the rich can flaunt their wealth for everyone to see constantly. if you wanna have a nice thing with friends thats fine but its for a group chat, not the public internet. rich folks need to quit showing off.
maybe if you stopped to acknowledge that its not a politically neurotypical act to flaunt wealth youd understand the irritation towards people who make it impossible to exist as a impoverished person without being reminded of how privelaged people will always have more thsn you.
Holy shit people need to stop acting so fucking helpless
If you can afford a box of pasta and a jar of sauce, you can fucking host a dinner party
It's about seeing your friends and sharing a meal and time together, not "fancy" food, what the fuck do you think people are serving at a dinner party, wagyu beef?
People regularly have to figure out how to feed entire families on a budget, if a working single mom can figure out how to feed multiple children every single night for years, you can learn how to cook for your friends once in a while
Maybe you're suffering because you choose to be miserable and decide to be alone and nobody wants to be around you, not because you don't have money
The eye doctor is the most fun doctor you can go to. They never steal your blood. They never make you get naked and put on a paper dress. They're just like, "Can you see these letters? It's fine if you can't, we can fix that." And they don't even spell anything.
ads these days are so sensitive to being tapped like darling my fingers barely brushed you and youre already opening yourself for me... well close those damn legs. dont make me get the taser
remember when you were 10 and you would hang out with your friends in order to Look At The Computer together like you went to their house and experienced the information superhighway together. and then leave
