sorry haha it's because i can't actually say in english what i feel when i'm reading you work so i said 'kilig' instead. btw, you're right. kilig is when you feel excited or what you feel when the one you like is around.
no worries! i don’t mind doing a quick search online plus i get to learn stuff that i never would have learned otherwise!
i’m so sorry that i haven’t posted anything in like three years or something and then i come back and the first thing i post isn’t even a request it’s me coping from mobile games
i’ll try and start writing regularly again aaaaaaaaa (๑•́ω•̀๑)
seokmin e7! au
because i basically sold my tear ducts to try and get dizzy and it’s been like 6 days but i’m still uncertain how i feel about the fact that there was only 16 summons left before the pity guarantee
okay before we get to seokmin let’s start with you!
you come from a family of soul weavers
but like
a really big family of soul weavers
as in your sister works really closely with angelica and the other people from the holy order of the blue cross
your brother was basically one of the front line soul weavers during the second fight against the archdemon
and your parents had been in taranor supporting the knights when the nocturnes sacrificed themselves to seal the archdemon in the first battle before the heir of the covenant had awoken
you,,,,,,,are not a soul weaver
you’re a mage
and it’s not supposed to be that big of a deal in your opinion like at least you can still fight for your home right?
your family is less than pleased
you’re the youngest child of two parents who worked beside diene
your brother works beside krau in taranor and your sister works with angelica
even your cousins are amazing soul weavers in their own right
your parents and your aunts and uncles always act as if you’ve committed a crime against them whenever they talk about you
they even tell you how your grandparents would be disappointed in you as if it was your decision to be a mage and not a soul weaver?
your cousins and siblings are more sympathetic towards you and they try their best to make you feel better
since your family is situated in ezera your brother often asks you if you want to move to taranor to be away from them
you’ve got cousins from all around the continent who ask you the same thing
you don’t know what to say? because yes on one hand if you moved to taranor or reingar or somewhere else you’d interact with your parents much less
but on the other hand,,,,,,,,,,,it still didn’t feel like you’d be far enough?
like you felt that even if you moved to a different continent you’d still be too close to them
your sister actually managed to pull some strings and you’ve been training with some mages for a few months now
besides your brother no one else in your family knows
you always wondered when you might finally be able to escape your family and that time comes,,,,,,,not completely by surprise
your brother gets a few weeks off to spend time with family and he decides that instead of spending that time with his family like he’s supposed to,,,,,,,,he’s going to go travelling
you both somehow manage to convince your parents to let you go with him
the night you leave is emotional to say the least
your sister isn’t stupid, she knows that you’re planning on taking this chance to run away and disappear
so your goodbyes with her are full of whispered voice cracks and trying not to burst into tears
your parents don’t bother saying much to you other than reminding you to not cause your brother trouble
your travels takes you all the way to the solayu forest
your brother originally planned on continuing on towards taranor but he’s also never seen duselnorc so you both decide to take a detour and do a circle back after seeing the region
as you’re going through north wetheric moor to return towards taranor though, you two encounter way more unknown than you’d be comfortable with
you and your brother end up being saved by two individuals, a girl with big blonde curls and a guy with dark hair and a friendly smile
the girl introduces herself as lidica and the boy introduces himself as seokmin
you and your brother recognize lidica and she ends up telling you that after she had left the rose apostles she joined this group called the phantom cic
you’re instantly interested because this seemed just like the opportunity you’ve been waiting for
as lidica and seokmin lead you and your brother to meet their leader, you start conversing with the two, learning about what they do and how their group functions
they tell you about what class they are (lidica being a ranger and seokmin being a soul weaver) ((you’re a little bitter when you find out that seokmin had come from a regular merchant family and just seemed to be a natural))
they also tell you a little bit about the other members of the group (sez who’s still learning how to be human, bellona who ran from home, much like you, and aramintha who is their leader)
when you first meet the other three you’re intimidated and your brother is more than uncomfortable with you possibly joining the group
you talk to aramintha for a bit, telling her about how you come from a family of renowned soul weavers but you were the only mage and how you left to try and escape from them
aramintha agrees to let you join them, but not before making sure that you’re absolutely certain because this is dangerous work
your brother leaves after that, promising to send letters
life after that feels good
you spend a lot of time with the rest of the members and become good friends with bellona
you’re normally sent out with bellona or lidica as support
sometimes you’ll be sent out with sez but you’re not the best at keeping him from raging
also because he once went way ahead of you and you got lost
(bellona had teased you about it for days after that)
you’re also (almost) never sent out with seokmin since you’re both better at support
sometimes you think about how different your life might be if you had never been saved by lidica and seokmin and you can say with complete confidence that you probably would have hated every day of your life
you exchange letters with your brother regularly and through those letters you manage some form of communication with your sister
you just feel like it’d be a little too risky to be sending her letters when your parents could easily find them
out of all the members of the group, you become closest with seokmin, ironically
you tell him about your family and why you left and in return he tells you about how he was never expected to be anything great since his family was just a regular merchant family and how proud his parents were when he decided to leave to try and make the world a better place
you’re a little jealous of how supportive and loving his family sounds but you don’t tell him since the last thing you want is for him to feel bad for having a supportive family
the two of you, despite being the weakest possible combination in terms of offence, actually work really well together
you both respect each other an insane amount since you both have somewhat similar backgrounds
neither of you had much of a chance to make a name for yourselves in your class and yet both of you are here today, fighting to make something of yourselves
it’s because you have such a huge amount of respect for seokmin that you’re 100% sure that the feelings you have for him are purely admiration and respect
bellona disagrees but she digresses
you get a letter one day from your brother telling you that your parents are starting to look for you
the letter details that they’re looking for you so that they can marry you off to some noble and gain some more social standing (especially since there have been rumours that their younger child, the only one in their family who is not a soul weaver, had run away from home)
apparently your parents had been somewhat keeping up their public image by claiming that you had gone off to travel the continent (which was,,,,,,,not completely false)
when bellona hears about this she promises you that if you didn’t want to be married off she’d do everything in her power to prevent it
especially since she understands your situation better than any of the other members
when you ask aramintha for advice she just shrugs and tells you that you are an adult and can make decisions for yourself
you write back to your brother and ask him to tell your parents that you weren’t planning on returning and being married off and that you were happy with what you were doing
you’re extremely surprised when your aunt turns up out of nowhere with armin and kluri, mercenaries who you had met back when you were travelling with your brother
she tells you that you really don’t have a choice but to agree to this marriage and that you should be honoured to be doing something for your family
you tell her that you don’t plan on returning, especially not to be married off to some noble
your aunt is, predictably, furious
she opens her mouth to continue speaking when seokmin cuts in
“sorry ma’am, but they’re already married to me”
what he says sends both you and your aunt into shock, and she eventually shakes her head and tells you that your parents will be hearing about this and they won’t be happy about it before turning and leaving
you’re still in shock so when seokmin lets out a laugh and goes “whew, what a day!” all you can do is gape at him
you finally snap out of it and thank him
he laughs it off before turning bashful, mumbling something about “out of order” and “wasn’t expecting that to happen today”
you can sort of make sense of what he’s saying so you question him
“seokmin,,,,perhaps, were you thinking about asking me out?”
he laughs, in embarrassment you suppose, before confirming your suspicions and apologizing for what he had done out of the blue
you tell him that you’d like that and maybe he’d like to join you when you go visit your brother?
bellona and aramintha are elated when they find out that you and seokmin have begun seeing each other
sez is a little confused but he still gives his congratulations when the others do
you end up taking matters into your own hand and end up sending a letter to the noble and tell them that you are, unfortunately, unavailable for marriage
you suppose your parents will probably burst with anger when they find out, but you can’t find it in yourself to care
when you and seokmin go to taranor to visit your brother, he’s extremely excited to hear about what you’ve been doing and that you’ve turned down the noble
he’s still a little nervous about you staying with the phantom cic to which seokmin just says that there’s nothing to worry about and how “you won’t find another soul weaver as good as me out there!” (to which your brother mumbles that “i’m sure you’re right”)
you back him up, telling your brother that it’s true, seokmin is the best soul weaver you know
to which your brother lets out an offended noise and tells you that he’s going to be telling your sister you said that
you laugh, and you don’t think you’ve ever felt so light and free of familial pressure than you did at that moment
ok ok ok but idea for continuing wildfire,,, ten gives up his life to bring kun back permanently because plot twist, is in love with 1) y/n and he can’t see her so sad OR 2) he’s in love with kun and bringing him back made him realize it, and also realize he’ll never compare to y/n
ahhhhhh those are such great ideas!!!
unfortunately, the relationship between ten and y/n is strictly, and purely, platonic! all else is up for interpretation, i won’t say any more ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)σ
UPDATE!!!!! i have actually started planning a sort of,,,,,//continuation// of wildfire,,,more information to be announced later in the day when it’s not 2am,,,,
The book is called Ink by Amanda Sun! Its about a foreigner who moves to Japan and meets this guy whos on the Kendo team and has a scar on his arm. It took me a while to find the title because I forgot it XD
i’ll have to see if the bookstores near me have it, but that sounds interesting!

Omg! I've read a story loosely based off of it! It was a book series I believe! I always wondered if there was a lore behind it and now I know!! Thank you for sharing ^^
that sounds so interesting! what book series is it, if i may ask?
also no problem!! i love talking about stories and legends especially from my cultures
Please tell us about the chinese idiom. Anything with dragons is usually an amazing story
there are a few different versions (even between me and my friend we’ve heard different versions of it) but the one i was told when i was a kid basically told about a boy who could paint dragons better than any artist in the world, but he never gave them eyes because anything he drew, if he gave them eyes, would come aliveand one day, the emperor called the boy to his palace and told the boy to draw him a painting of a dragon and so the boy did, but he didn’t dot the eyesa while later (not completely sure how long, probably a few days?) the emperor realized that the painting was weird cause the dragon didn’t have eyes so he called the boy back and told him to paint the eyesand there was an argument between the boy and the emperor since the boy knew that if he gave the dragon eyes it would come alive, so he was like no but the emperor threatened him with his lifethe boy ended up giving the dragon eyes and it came to life, destroyed the palace, and flew off
the other version (probably the more popular version?) says that there was a painter who was famous at painting dragons, and one day he painted four dragons on a brick wallsome townspeople would ask him why he didn’t paint in the eyes and he told them ‘if they had eyes they would fly away’ and of course no one believed him and they all made fun of himand so he drew in the eyes for two of the dragons. once he drew the eyes in, there was a clap of thunder and lightning, and the two dragons burst out of the wall and into the sky while the other two without eyes remained the same on the wall
