I know how you've already gotten several asks about MOC and the latest Kingdom Performance. But I just wanted to tell you, MOC was my first ATEEZ fanfic that I started reading (it's almost 8-9 months that I started I think) and your portrayal of Seonghwa played a huge factor of him becoming my bias. And in this performance, that portrayal came alive.

There were several instances in the performance that reminded me of MOC. The starting scene of Joong and Halateez reminded me of MOC Joong and his several contacts, Woo getting in trouble part reminded me of his abduction in MOC and Jongho and Yunho's stunt as well as his powerful vocals reminded me how MOC Jongho always seemed the most powerful to me personally (because he can control emotions to an extent).

Anyway I just wanna end by saying, I love stanning talent. Be it ATEEZ or be it you, Caly.

i LOVE to see it honestly its so crazy to see how much people think about my work when watching ateez content and gahd it makes me a little emo i can’t lie it’s just !!! something so special!!! made even more special by the fact that we are quickly approaching the one year anniversary of mists!! it’s just T-T amazing to see how far it’s come and how we’re able to draw these parallels and see bits of the story in the things ateez does i love that so much !!!

the ateez performance just read like a book to me it was so beautiful so intricate so stunning i adored every second and aaaaaaaaaaaa everyone seeing parallels and parts of mists in it is just so SPECIAL 😭😭😭

I was thinking of re-reading concentric for the last few days. And your blog popped up on my tl today. This is Universe's sign to re read concentric 🤣🤣

With each slice of life story you write, I fall in love more with the characters as well as your writing. But Sugar and Coffee is my favourite because it reminds me the exact relationship dynamics I have with my boyfriend. Reading it feels like I'm revisiting my old memories. Thank You so much. Even if I'm having a shitty day, your stories makes me smile and feel happy. 💜

I’m glad :> Honestly each of the slice of life series I’ve written has removed my soul from my body and then put it back. There are things I dislike about each of them and then certain things I absolutely adore. Sometimes I think about removing some of the older ones just because of how badly written they are but then I think about how much time and effort I had spent back then, so I don’t. I think the 7 instalments embody the progress my writing has taken and exemplify how much I’ve improved. So it makes me happy to hear that with each one, you love it more.

Anyway, that’s super cute if the series reminds you of your own relationship dynamic cause I sure as hell love their dynamic!!

I like Thanxx better as a song. But I like Inception better as a MV. The emotions, the story line, the performance in Inception is beautiful. It will be nice to see Thanxx being performed live as it's a groovy song. But yes, Inception is far better overall. And I'm not even gonna start talking about all the problematic things in the MV. It's not my place as it's wasn't from my culture. But I can understand why many people might feel uncomfortable. I hope in future they do better than this.

oh yes absolutely! dont get me wrong, i absolutely love thanxx as a song, but i expected way more from the mv (even if there wasnt ca involved i would be disappointed by this) ksnfnkfs inception had nice story, the acting of ateez was good .... that and the diary film were honestly everything this era needed, if it was given thanxxs budget.... oh well, hopefully they will learn for real and maybe even stop with the dumb voting

Thank you Caly. It's not just Twitter. It's on Insta too. I read a post "I honestly feel Ateez deserves a fandom as competitive as they are." Umm no? ATEEZ deserves a fandom who would love them no matter what. We as fans know how hard they work and what they mean to us.. And we often remind them that too.

And while winning is good, it's not the only aim. I am tired of the posts constantly calling out fans for not doing "what they are supposed to do". Kpop ain't just a hobby anymore.

I wish to go back when K-pop wasn't a competition to show off. It was music. It wasn't a lifestyle. I know how some people get stressed because of comebacks, because of buying new albums and not having enough money. Some get stressed because due to their life commitments they can't stream or vote. And worst of all, people like these guilt tripping others for not being a "good fan".

Our idols are here to make us feel good and in return we'll try to give them what they deserve.. the equation should be this simple.

honestly i’m finding it EVERYWHERE even on tiktok which is bizarre as hell to me oaisjdfoisjdfo i think a lot of people overestimate the size of the fandom. there are limits to what an international fandom can do, especially when it comes to kingdom bc kingdom is more heavily reliant on the domestic fanbase, even with international voting. 

kpop should never be anything more than a hobby, and some people treat it like a job and that’s just not right? it’s music, if you really enjoyed the music then you wouldnt put so much pressure on how other people enjoy the music? it’s crazy to me to see how it’s developed in my time as a fan of kpop but it’s also disheartening to see the direction that it is developing in. i don’t like this stream/vote culture when i am going to be a senior in university and going to start a legitimate career. it’s not fair for people to say that someone’s life commitments ‘aren’t good enough’ to be a fan and that’s always been something dumbly bizarre to me that people are out here comparing a voting period for a kpop reality show to life commitments like a pandemic and taking care of families. 

again there is only so much we as fans can do. when it comes to competitions like these where they are both rigged and reliant on the SIZE of a fandom, i think atinys need to realize there are limits and no fandom should ever have to say ‘well if we each create 40-50 accounts to vote’ no. that should never be a priority. doing what you can where you can should be the priority

Calyyyy.. I've fallen into the Stray Kids hole :3

Especially Jisung and Lee Minho. How badly I'm crushing on my tsundere baby who's also a cat father 😭😭😭 even his cats are beautiful.. just like him. I'm reading your Skz works now 🙊 but can you suggest me some other Skz fics, pleaaase? If it's lino or jisung centric, then that's just cherry on the top.

P.S. I'm scared for the next MOC update.. I mean... jisung is my new bias.. goddamit 😂😂😂

hehehehhehe welcome to the skz hole :3 im so glad you’ve decided to join us :3 minho is an absolute tsundere and a cat dad and im just IN LOVE with him 😭😭😭 thank you for reading me works heh i’m touched as always 🤭 i can’t think of any fics off the top of my head but two authors i ALWAYS adore are @mikoto-ica-fics and @nightshade-minho!!! both always have fantastic fics, and miss mica has a phenomenal vampire series called sanguis limerence that i am BEHIND on but im catching up finally and god it’s fantastic on every level!!

also you are rightfully scared for what’s to come with MOC 🤐🤐

To that one anon who wondered why we follow Caly..

Her fics might not be your cup of tea, but we actually wait eagerly for the next update. We love to be in her taglist so we don't miss any of her amazing works. And furthermore, because Caly is more than her fics. She's a person with a heart of gold, who tries to spread love in her blog, even during moments she is struggling in her own life. She often puts her readers before herself.

So you might not like her work, but you don't have a right to be a dick about it too. I hope for whatever reason you thought bringing someone down will be a good idea, gets sorted out. It's really a dark place to be in, anon. Come and try kindness someday, it has a much better aftertaste than whatever you are feeding yourself and others right now.

oh darling please you’re too sweet :(( im so grateful for you, thank you for such sweet words, i don’t even know how to put into words how thankful i am for them 🥺💖
