Burning Meat by @vietbluefic​

Taehyung is sharp, sweet, cooks terribly and watches them a touch too closely, to the point where Yoongi finds himself beginning to wonder.

(Or; Yoongi’s fondness grows higher for his new next-door neighbor, at the same time as do his suspicions.)

Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating. 

[putyouinabook]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?

[why-bless-your-heart]

I have a tendency to beat myself up whenever something I make doesn’t meet my expectations (which is always). The result is that finishing something = bad feelings: I am effectively punishing myself for having created something. The natural reaction to this punishment is an aversion to creation, meaning that my perfectionism is harming me, not only by causing me to despise what I do make and by impeding the creative process, but by attacking even my desire to create.

louder (scream louder) by @vietbluefic

The first thing he registers: darkness.

(Or; Jimin wakes up blind, bound, gagged, and in the hands of a murderer.)

Strawberry Flavor by @vietbluefic​

“Okay, no, but really. How could we forget?!” Seokjin chides into his flip phone. He fumes; he’s as frustrated with himself as he is with these six silly boys. “We had weeks to prepare for this! Weeks! We made a plan! How did we get a squirrel plate for dipping sauces instead of, oh, I don’t know, the very necessary birthday cake?!”

(Or; Manager-nim’s birthday is today. It goes about as smoothly as you’d expect.)

Frozen Mouths by @vietbluefic

The room — Taehyung’s room — smells dusty-sweet from rosehip potpourri and linen, the drawn curtains thick, pooled velvet. In Jimin’s small hands, filigree gleams from the dim light of candles and his hair ignites the same luminous gold.

Within this half-darkness, from afar: Taehyung watches.

(Or; Sometimes you forget how heat feels without the burning.)

“if it’s not plot relevant, cut it!!” is such awful writing advice

if JRR Tolkien had cut every bit of Lord of the Rings that wasn’t directly related to the central plot, it would have been just one book long, COLOURLESS and DULL AS DIRT. 

all the little worldbuilding/character details are what draw you in and give the central plot weight, FOOL

[eurydicetown-deactivated2020092]

“if it’s not story-relevant, cut it” is way better advice, because story isn’t just plot

Stone Hearts by @vietbluefic​

Shadows gathered along the edges of the room drape themselves across his features, turning them stony, inscrutable. But his hair gleams the color of delphiniums mid-bloom, and Jimin feels his listless heart quiver in awe. Taehyung is glaciers and starlight, he thinks — chiseled from things distant and namelessly ancient. Their first-ever meeting, instinct had spurred him to bare his fangs at a creature so hollow, such that only Namjoon’s arm across his chest kept him from outright bolting. Taehyung’s beauty, a frigid loveliness; Taehyung’s hunger, a bottomless abyss.

His is a heart of stone, grating against old bones.

(Or; For creatures like them, “heartless” is not always just a figure of speech.)

[BT21] BT21 UNIVERSE EP.05 - ROLE MODEL

Two heads are better than one? No! Eight buddies are better than one ❤ Check out the fifth heartwarming episode of BT21 UNIVERSE! ❗️#BT21 Official Twitter :...

Bangtan Son-freaking-yeondan really just went out here and said, “Oh yeah by the way, we actually canonically exist in the BT21 universe. In fact!! WE inspired Tata!! To recruit six other little friends!! And become UNIVERSTARS!! In the first place!!! <3″

MY DEAR SONS, PLEASE, I’VE BEEN SCRAMBLING TO ADHERE MY FIC TO YOURS AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN BUT THIS REALLY TAKES THE CAKE

[x-i-l-verify]

RJ would like to say he’s a pretty well-traveled alpaca by now. Thanks to Tata and Van’s super-advanced alien tech, he’s had the opportunity to go to places that the young him could’ve never even imagined. Not just foreign countries, but different planets! Entire strange dimensions! While Perú will always be home, RJ has come to love exploring whole new worlds, full of wonderful people and wonderful sights — and most of all, wonderful things to eat.

One thing he’ll never get used to, though, is cold weather.

“Ach-choo!”

“Taa (Bless you).”

“B-Beh,” RJ thanks him gratefully, sniffling. That was a big one. The alpaca toddles down the street like a wet cloud of cotton, clutching Van’s remote in one hoof, and Tata in his other. After noticing RJ’s shivers, the alien promptly shifted into an umbrella with a polka-dot handle to cover him despite RJ’s protests. So he’s been bearing the brunt of the downpour with a stoic expression for the past ten minutes. A rush of adoration courses through RJ for his little friend. Tata might be eccentric at the best of times, and a mischievous brat at the worst — but he always takes care of his loved ones, bless his rubber heart.

Hungry Eyes by @vietbluefic

Jimin has never been one to bottle emotions, and Namjoon, deep down, is relieved to find that vampirism does not change that, at least. Everything in the boy’s heart spills, tumbles out in laughter and in tears, in the sunlight (moonlight, now) that glimmers off the edges of his irises to turn them amber-and-brown.

Jimin looks at him, and his eyes curl over a delight-shaped smile, and Namjoon feels the dead heart inside himself th-thud wetly.

(Or; The eyes are the window to the soul — even for the soulless.)
