oh my god there's so much !!! i don't even think i could go through all of it if i tried. i'm not the greatest foreshadower but i do try to make efforts to show that things are not always as they seem/changes are afoot!! i also think my displays of symbolism are pretty obvious, the hydrangea in into the wilderness, the bracelet/magic in midas, the dress + mirrored taekook relationship in vogue, they're all ways to encourage the reader to look at the main relationship in a new light !! as for the relationships themselves, it goes without saying but i am usually much, much more invested in relationship development when writing an e2l au like LMOWBGD rather than a f2l au. reason being, e2l aus require the two main characters (and thus, the author) to successfully overcome their dislike for each other before they can even think about delving into love. f2l aus, on the other hand, are built on the backbone of an already-existing appreciation for one another.
AHHH this is a long answer. these are basically just some of my random thoughts about writing and development!
send me some writing asks, or other questions you have, or just tell me something about you! LET’S CHAT!
foxrain reader here to remind you that we are lurking and patiently waiting bc we love you both to death and get excited when you guys do anything 😌✋🏽 believe me
HFKWJDJWJWJ me and rha were just talking about fox rain a couple of days ago,,, we hope to get a chapter out soon so that we don’t blue ball our fox rain readers, no matter how few you might be LMAO
i’m honestly so excited to get the next chapter out because it’ll be featuring My Favorite Boy™️ but i just don’t have the time to write it rn 😔
cat i will first of all excuse my poor coherent thoughts bc i just finished reading ypur newest jeno fic and im so in shambles i have been crying these oast few minutes trying to compose my thoughts and myself and
You see, I wished that i could explain verbally what i am feeling but as always, your writing is always so well balanced like we have the comedy, we have the angst, we have the fluff and all the in-between!!! Also, bonus points for all the frat names being groups love to see it and honestly i do appreciate that dynamics are always very real, like things that happen and real emotions like ofc i would have wished that since the moment OC and Jeno realize both had feelings back in freshmen year they suddenly fall in kove and live happily ever after bam the end, but character wise in how both were made it made sense to see how theu react, they both were scared and yes, Jeno took the leap of faith by confessing but it also was very human for OC to feel scared, more so with the whole issue of not catching feelings allowed.
Plus something i found very interesting is how some dialogue like came back, buth with a whole new meaning like the phrase "choose me" when Jeno made reference to the cat and at the end with how OC realizes Jaemin chose to stay, to love and so did she or also the whole ordeal of Lee Jeno (when oc first see them at the party and i think kater when he finds her with hyunjin) and i bet there were more that i couldn't see but uhhhh my point is that i appreciate how much thought you always put in creating wonderful stories and how the endinh was very much an accurate ending of what things happen.
I'm very sorry for my rambling but, believe me i loved it a lot! Would have reblogged it but my phone kept crashing whenever i wrote sksksk sorry about that lol but thanks again!!!! Good luck with everything!!!
omg honey bee, thank you sososos sooo much for always leaving the kindest comments on my fics !!!! 🥺💗💗💗 kajhdsfkljas whenever i see your url in my activity feed, it’s like my brain goes !! instant serotonin boost !!! 🥰🥰 so thank you so much for all your efforts, lovebug, and i appreciate you very much 🤧💜 and i’m so sorry for making you cry 😭 but thank you for confirming that the feelings i was hoping to portray came across :’) once again, i’m putting this under the cut because my answer is long asjkdfa

i feel like my previous fics were realistic enough in a sense, but they were also pretty idealistic with the way everything lined up perfectly and had a romcom movie ending, and that was where pussy blocked was headed too originally! 💞 the alternate ending i had roughly written was the original ending i was aiming for, but that went out the window when i spontaneously decided to make yn kiss jaemin, and suddenly, jaemin just made so much more sense as the ending. for me, her choosing jaemin in the end is what makes this feel more real 💗
aaa but making jeno and yn fall in love in freshman year and go on to date and live happily ever after has peak luvdsc fluff romance written all over it, doesn’t it? 🤧💖 jeno definitely took the leap there, and unfortunately, yn just wasn’t ready to jump with him. like i had mentioned in my response to your lovely thoughts about august, love really does depend on so much happenstance and timing 🤍 and this time, it didn’t work out for these two sadly ):
YES oh my gosh, you noticed the repetitive language used aaaaa sweetpea, that makes me so unbelievably happy 😭💟💟💟 choosing and choices play a huge role in this fic, and i’m just over the moon that you picked up on those details, lovebug 🥰🥰 and yes!!! there is a rewrite of her impression of jeno at the beginning of the fic and near the end of the fic to show the shift in feelings she has for him :’) repetition is something i like to incorporate in my writing style, so it was used for various paragraphs / phrases here and there in my fic :’) the bathroom scene with hyunjin overall is supposed to be reminiscent of the bathroom scene at the beginning of the fic, right down to her wearing the same white top 💕
you are the absolute sweetest sweetpea, and i am so so sooo grateful for your appreciation and sharing your thoughts with me 🥺💞💞 please don’t ever apologize for this, honey bee, i absolutely love to hear what you think about my fic and thank you for giving it so much love 💓💓 askjdfa tumblr isn’t very mobile friendly when it comes to reblogging long posts unfortunately, but thank you for even taking the time to rewriting everything you were gonna say in your reblog and sending me an ask instead 🥺 i hope you have a wonderful day/night, angel 🌷🌷🌷
It was past midnight when i read cherry blossom avenue so i, like the responsible adult i am, cried while reading it and then went to sleep haha but if you excuse me i will now proceed to make the appropriate feed back you deserve!!
To begin with i was already captivated enough by the teaser, you were right it was one of the fluffiest moments in the whole thing but i was ready for the angst to cry.
The beginning is simple, we see the reader and we feel her left over feelings and i think many of us have felt that, when you have buried your feelings deep enough you forget about them but when they appear again they are stronger than before, we feel that as she has an argument with Jin and we hurt with how it ends.
Then, he appears at her office, he's back! He's making up for all the years missed and we feel like everything is going to be fine but oh oh, we remember the ring, the wedding and then we cry again.
After that i was already crying a bit if I'm honest i am a crybaby with much honor thank you very much, so i actually had to pause to collect myself jakskss but then!!!! I think that the conversations shared between her and seokjin and well the wedding girl and all were actually very realistic??? Like, how the reader is sure she understands, she wants them to be happy but not because she understands her feelings will magically go away you know? That was very very emotionally real(?) Am i making sense????
Anyways, they try on the suit and dresses and it feels like a fever dream, this is what they both wished they had and when he says:
"And that’s why I love you,” Jin smiles, chuckling softly. “I’ll always want to marry you.” 😭😭😭😭😭
I was a mess lol, and THEN THE WEDDING OH MY GOD i really envisioned this like the crazy rich asians movie lol and the whole dramatic feeling when Youngqi calls iver the reader and when Jin says he doesn't want to marry someone he doesn't love and Youngqi(?) Itd like same lol i don't want this
I was like oh my god 👁️👁️ then the ending was just so *heart clenches* i am very very pleased with how you wrote it, how the cherry blossom 🌸 will have a special thing for them ❣️
TL;DR, this could have been very well a movie i would watch, the presence of the cherry blossom and what it represents in the whole fic like it was very very beautiful, so thank you so much for your hard work!!! I'm sorry for all the rambling I'm just very pleased hahah, have a great day *hug* 🌸❣️
SORRY FOR ALL THE RAMBLING???? EXCUSE YOU BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE “RAMBLING” THAT I CAN HARDLY CALL THAT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR AS A WRITER 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧 thank you for going through each part of the fic and letting me know how you felt because it seriously helps me understand how my writing is being received. i know the synopsis might be a bit unrelatable (unless... you guys actually make these kind of promises cause i can’t relate LOL) so i tried to adventure into the “buried/unrequited love” trope as well as fine-tuning the convos AND I’M GLAD THAT TRANSLATED WELL!!
also JF;AOEIFJ i just love all the “movie-esque” comments for CBA;;; if only i had gone into screenwriting, y’all would have had so many cliche romcoms :”) ty bb for this message, for i am now quenched 😍😍😍💕💕
all of namjoon’s friends say he needs to be more adventurous. he holes himself up in his room and says no to anything out of his natural routine. he overthinks everything and can barely muster up the courage to tell the girl in his logic class that he thinks she’s cute. and one day, as he’s sitting in his car, eating a falafel from the food truck down the road, that same girl yanks open his passenger seat door, wide-eyed and out of breath, and tells him to drive like his life depends on it.
finishing up the fic title asks from last week! don’t send more please!
Ahh just read your announcement and ahh guyi im so sksbsksjs idk tbh which word would describe me best bc as sad as i am to know you will eventually leave tumblr im glad to know you will find more peace of mind (i mean, writting the bestest monsters fic afer four years must have taken a toll on you) with that said, I'm happy to have found your account, like i know you probably like are aware that many people enjoyr your writting, but i swear to the writting gods you have such a talent for it!!

You got it! 💗💗

Jungkook stays at the bar until eleven that night before he makes the executive decision to go home and sleep, because as much as he would like to party until three in the morning, he’s got a pile of work that’s telling him to be a real adult.
send me a word and if it’s in my wip (the art of the rom com), i’ll respond with the sentence it’s in!
