got tagged by @medievalraven to do @thirstkanaphan's template about ateez

i became an atiny in 2025 i guess? idk, @medievalraven lured me into it boiling frog style, but then i flipped it and reversed it by luring her into stanning mingi

my most-listened ATEEZ song this year was so fun fact i don't use spotify/streaming and most of my music listening is done with cds or mp3s ripped from cds on my phone. if i had to guess...autobahn is definitely up there, but ateez as a whole? probably in your fantasy

i went nuts when mingi had his little ponytail/bun thing going on

my favorite moment as an atiny was 1) doing freebies in texas. i got so many back and it's been fun figuring out what to do with them. 2) going to cup sleeves! i went to one in dallas, then a few in toronto (the first two pictures), then wooyoung birthday cafes in seoul (third and fourth). they were lots of fun and being a fan in her 30s makes me feel way more chill about everything lol. and yes there was also a g balloon after hongjoon

my bias was mingi (obvs) and i was wrecked by jongho although is it being wrecked if you're like i've decided to choose this one and then he engages in behaviour that might have wrecked me if i had not already decided to adopt him?

i read the most fanfiction about i honestly don't even know. and my favorite fic was probably one of @medievalraven's woogi fics because 1) i love woogi and 2) she's da best and i am biased

i am really proud of (making/writing/creating) this pillow

i really enjoyed this mingjoong post from @heartseekerjhin. 12 out of 4 stars.

my favorite reel/tiktok was this one where mingi's talking about how if aliens come he'll just die. i lose it every time

my favorite member moment was probably mingi related because i'm predictable as hell but also i don't knowwwwww

i can't stop listening to halazia, autobahn, in your fantasy, this house ain't a home

your favorite OT8 moment was when they all came out for no1 in texas when SOMEONE was trying to delete photos of their nephew

the best Ateez purchase i made this year oh god there's a lot of options. my mingyo stuff makes me smile a lot tho

i also bought some fanmade stuff including this print from @imawonderart that lives on my bookshelf now

i loved when they were doing bits of each other's solos at the arlington show

i crashed out over too many things to count, mostly mingi related leave me alooooooone

i gasped when people accused mingi of wearing hip pads

i had an unhinged fujo/shipper moment a lot of times

i was delighted when mingi was kneeling and jongho acted like he was proposing

my favorite Ateez content was probably the bts from in your fantasy and also some of the bits when mingi and yunho were on their little date during that dating show

i was attacked by mingi's roar performance

my favourite style was ok there were a lot but i am very fond of this one aka tofu chef boyfriend

roar was my most memorable performance

It warmed my heart when i got to see my friends and do stuff with them and meet new people

i'm most excited for doing more of all that in 2026 :)

i'm tagging anyone else who wants to do this but i will also allow it if you replace ateez with your group

Hi hello - so i have a wild ask here for you. So I randomly, truly randomly, decided to listen to my GG playlist today at the gym for the first time in three years??? Anyway reminded me of how good that show was at music and how good you were at finding the songs.

Soooooo (for a blast from the past) - top five GG songs???

K thanksssss ❤️

Oooooooooh hi friend!!!! It means so much to still be associated with the music from good girls 😭💛

But goddamnit I really underestimated how difficult narrowing this down to FIVE SONGS lmao. I'm gonna try to come up with a mix of vibes/character pairings in the scenes the songs are associated with (it's requiring a LOT of restraint to not list only bangers hahahaha)

Alright, in no particular order:

Blanket Me by Hundred Waters

You So Done by Noga Erez

I Feel Like I'm Drowning by Two Feet

Something For Your Mind by Superorganism

Walk Away by Buzzy Lee

Honorable mention to Cruel World by Phantogram bc every time I hear it in a store (which happens way more often than you'd think?!), my brain goes: GOOD GIRLS. THIS IS FROM GOOD GIRLS. THIS IS A GOOD GIRLS SONG.

21 and 32, please noodle

tysm baby!!

21. Is there an idea you’ve always wanted to write, but haven’t yet?

ok fuck you for asking this question 😭😭 yes, tons, heaps, masses!! but i struggle w the actual writing part. which is why i sometimes get so sad talking about it bc im like oh god i miss writing i wanna write i wanna write this but i cant for some reason aahhhhhhh

to answer your question, i only have one word for you: bdsm!fic

32. What story do you think showcases your signature style the most?

oh god um you tell me?? do i even have a signature style to speak of???? i do think ive uhhh done something some might call ~finding and developing my voice as a writer~ over the course of the fics ive written so far. i think i got slightly more unhinged as time went on and i got more writing in. i like it, i think my later fics are more... me? so im excited to see where that's gonna go. these days i do extremely little fic writing and a lot more writing of secret poems. and im sensing that's gonna bleed into the fic writing i'll do in the future

in terms of style, id say warm water was more basic, more... baby jo trying to figure out her writing voice in a multichapter fic for the first time. though it has plot elements that i think are very me (you know i secretly love dishing out angst). on the other end of the spectrum is as trouble ought to do, where i got really weird with it and i cant believe people let me get away with that. so, to me, fics like unlike and chlorine sit somewhere between those two. for unlike, while it's just a smutty oneshot, i put a lot of attention and intention into how i phrased things. and it has a lot of sex, which, very nomind of me. with chlorine, im in my comfort zone of smut, potential angst and feeeelings, and weird lines. mashing those together is my idea of a good time.

in conclusion: oh god um you tell me??

ty dear 💖 ask me writey things to force me back into writing??

1 and 11 pleaseeeeeeeee

helloooo lauren 💖 ty. I wrote both prompts as separete drabbles, so enjoy!

(Both set in the multiple timelines of post-canon)

1. Could you ever be happy with me?

In the list of wrong things to say during intercourse, this one is probably the worst. How it even got to her mind is a mystery to her, but she has been leaning towards vulnerability in the last couple of weeks.

And is weird. Not the part when they fall into a steady rhythm of working and having sex in a loop, no, but the one where there's no fighting for more power, to force the others hand. Everyone's playing their part. Everything's going according to the schedule.

Of course it happens in bed. And naturally it does while he's inside of her, her orgasm crashing and pulsing to her brain, dulled enough to say:

"Could you ever be happy with me?"

She wants to get off him, as far away as this bed allows her to be. He stopped pounding into her when he listened to her question, but never actually pulled out. Now, one of his hands is pining hers against the headboard, his long fingers circling both wrists. He isn't hurting her, only applying enough force to keep her in place, gently brushing his lips to her ear to whisper: "This line of work ain't for happy endings, ma."

Beth interrupts him before he keeps talking. "I wasn't talking about work."

He hums against her left cheek, his mouth traveling down to her neck, resting against her pulse point. She feels the slow swirl of his tongue over her skin, her words still echoing on the walls of the dark room. Maybe both could fake they never left her throat, but they were done with that. Done with the pretending and the betrayal and the lying.

"No."

Rio's kissing her breast bone, his rejection burning a hole on her chest. And Beth knew it, knew there aren't more answers in the world to that question than the one he gave her. So, when he brushes his lips to the place where her heart is supposed to be, her body jumps, not ready for what he's gonna say next.

"We going to hell, darlin'. You and I. There's no other place for us."

And she smiles when he starts to thrust into her again, whatever version of their personal inferno swallowing both.

11. Promise me you won’t let anything happen to him.

When dynamics change, so do responsibilities. And he's not talking about power, that's still a struggle between them. It's about who's in control of what.

For Elizabeth, he's apparently in charge of the killing.

"You play me once to do your dirty work, and now I'm your personal sicario." He says, one hand running over his face with frustration. They're at his bar, supposedly the only location neither law enforcement nor lawyers have ever tracked down to make a connection between him and Elizabeth. It's given they'll use till a bomb drops on them.

Not that they ever tried to hide this partnership. They meet in public parks with their kids playing for fucks sake.

"Hey, don't kill him. Promise me you won’t let anything happen to him." She says, nursing her drink in one hand before taking a sip. He has to take down her competition for her but he can't do it on his terms? Elizabeth running one time without his help was fucking amazing, why she needs him now?

"I'm your errand boy now, huh, is that right?" He pillows his jaw under his hand, turning to look at her. And she finds something in the wall over his head more interesting, 'cause she ain't looking back at him, her nervous leg bouncing on the stool.

"I'll do anything, but please promise me you won't let anything happen to him. It'll only brings us trouble. Just do one of your dramatic jump scares."

He commiserates in the way this petition is hard for her to ask, 'cause he sees now how much of a real trouble this is. And she's been making progress, asking for help when needed. He carefully takes her chin between her fingers, making her look at him, glides his finger from her forehead to her cheek and tucking a strand of blonde hair on her ear.

"I'll add it to your tab, partner."

Send me a number and a ship and I’ll write you a little something

Prompt list

hi yes, good morning (or afternoon idk how time works for you) - i have a question. ahem, thoughts on rio's beanie from 4x04? is this a new one? how does it rank? thank you for your time.

I operate outside of space and time for future reference ✨✨✨

Obviously as the chairman of The Beanie Brigade I immediately heard sirens when I saw a beanie on his head. It’s deffo new! He went shopping!

so i both LOVED it and found it hilarious. Which just makes me love it more.

At the top of the scene when he’s looking down it’s so HIGH off his head he looks like, well, a smurf. Or an Ice Gem. Literally look at how pointy it is i cannot i have tears.

But when he’s straight on i’m deeply obsessed with how it makes his face look all round and cute and chiseled. It gives me 2x07 Versace beanie vibes with how nice it makes his skull look.

Then it gets funny again when he looks down. And then he looks fashun and beautiful again in profile/front-on.

The urge to *squish* is unimaginable. I love it. 7/10.

[mymostimaginaryfriend]

Okay because you are much wiser than me - this whole mirror thing in 5x02. I think there were three (maybe more) deliberate shots with them all featuring Teresa - any thoughts on that? Just pretty cinematography or something deeper?

I was LITERALLY just making a post about this Lauren lmao.  Idk about wiser (your galaxy brain smoking scene meta AHEM), but - and I’m fully aware my clown shoes are squeaking here - 

I was thinking all of these mirror shots in 502 - especially the Jeresa ones - might be a visual metaphor for:

“maybe in another life”

What does everyone else think? Am I too far in the clown car on this one? (Don’t worry it’s a stretch limo, there’s room for everyone).

[jazillia007]

i am also on team 'just along for a ride with no expectations' and can i say it is a fun experience lol

It definitely is. And look I understand people in the fandom who are disappointed to a point they can’t enjoy the show anymore.

I was like that back then for season 3 as well. Season 2 finale destroyed me emotionally and not to sound dramatic but I was in a dark place for season 3. I was unable to rewatch episodes and enjoy anything. Even though there were certainly parts in season 3 as well which were mediocre good.

But right now with season 4, while the writing is lazy since there is no real plot for any of the characters and whatever is going on with Nick I still can enjoy the show for what it is and this might sound naive but I still have hope that in the end it all makes sense? xD

I mean sure thing, the writers suffer from amnesia and they’re super disrespectful for not even giving Rio the scars, like it’s their way to be like “oh it never actually happened” when the trauma for us is pretty real. But maybe... MAYBE... there is something there unless there isn’t and we will find out when this season ends.

I just think I’ve reached a point where I won’t let anyone spoil the fun I’m having, even if there are moments that are just so dumb and make no sense at all.

And I love to discuss those parts as well. So... yeah... I feel much better when I just let the show happen and see where it takes me.
