Finished Cherub Vice and am crying into my oreos now.

Love it when fics fuck you all the way up. /pos

Perhaps the loveliest thing about reading ot7 fics is that anytime I’m bawling my eyes out, I always end up also bursting into laughter throughout the heartache because they’re just too funny and sweet and hold so much love. 💕

BRO, I LIVE BREATHE AND DIE FOR THOSE SWEET ONE-SHOTS THAT ARE LESS THAN 10K BUT HAVE THE WHOLE OF THE TENDER PULPY HUMAN CONDITION ENVELOPED PERFECTLY WITHIN!!!!! OMG I JUST WANNA EAT MY HANDS, MY HEART FEELS SO FULL RN

Somehow we managed to turn it around and it got so much better and now I’ve just finished it and my face hurts from how hard I’m smiling 😊

I wish we had discussion circles for fics the way we did in literature classes, I would love to break down the story with friends lol

HOW DID IT GET WORSE

I think I needed the tag “unreliable narrator” before jumping into this fic.

This story has gotten so fucking devastating, I don’t even know if I can finish it.

When you read a fic with the tag “angst angst angst” and then there’s a fuck ton of stomach-turning angst in the story

The combination of getting contacts for the first time and getting into BTS means that my purchase and use of sunglasses has gone up significantly in the past few months 📈📈📈

Every single time I see a new (to me) photo of J-Hope, I start looking at sunglasses again lmao

Sending you nothing but love and good vibes, Cyn! 🫂

Your Oikawa looks like such a serious adult doing what he loves — may we all get to pursue our passions fearlessly through each of the chapters of our lives

Happy birthday to my best boi oikawa tooru. Thank you for being my comfort character for the last 5 years but especially this year as I am trying to do a career switch at 30 yo. Live long and prosper, king.

Also, I tweeted this on priv last night but I do find it gently amusing that half of the songs on Golden are incorrigibly horny and the other half are utterly heartbroken. Amazing work. 👌🏼

I’ll always be grateful to Haikyuu for the love and passion and comfort it brought into my life, and for the incredible people I’ve met who share that love.

And now that I’m developing new interests, I’m back to lurking LOL — but it still feels lovely joining new communities and loving quietly. 💜

I’ve been a part of fandom life for over twenty years, and the vast majority of that time was spent comfortably lurking. Then five years ago, I decided to try to be more active, to make friends — and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful, exciting, and rewarding experiences ever. 🩵

I’ve been meaning to update this, but I have now also listened to
V ✅
Jimin ✅
Jungkook ✅
Agust D ✅

All that’s left is RM, which works out well because I bought myself the Indigo album while I was traveling last week 🩵

talent is something you make bloom

We’ve worked through discographies for
J-Hope ✅
Jin ✅

Loved them both 🩵

I’ll probably listening to Jimin and Taehyung tomorrow.

Singles, Collabs, Features, and EPs are done ✅

Which means I get to dive into individual albums now 🥹 or, well, tomorrow since it’s 3am now but that’s fine 🥰

Bro I’m so obsessed with these themes, I legitimately kinda wanna cry, they’re so sweet 😭🩵

Their theme tracks from BTS WORLD are actually so perfect and fitting, I feel so fond 🥹

They’re SO GOOD, Queenhy!!! I’m so happy 🥰

I forgot to post! I have now listened to MAP OF THE SOUL:7 ~ THE JOURNEY, along with BE and Proof —— meaning, I have finally finished listening to all the group albums! 🥳💕 And my life is already so much richer for it 🥹🥰

Now I want to listen to singles & EPs as well as member albums ✨

Perhaps the best and silliest thing about getting into BTS is that, without fail, every time I watch a video of any of them, I end up cheesin’ so, so big. They’re such cute human beings, it’s impossible not to smile and laugh along with them.

Loved MAP OF THE SOUL:7 ✅ I enjoyed too many songs to list our all my faves.

I’ll play MAP OF THE SOUL:7 ~ THE JOURNEY ~ and anticipate that I’ll fall asleep midway through lol

I had actually apparently already heard most of the songs on MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA — now I’ve heard them all ✅

It was exciting to be able to sing along lol

Listening to MAP OF THE SOUL:7 now

Loved Love Yourself ‘Answer’ ✅

I’ve been playing the songs around the house and my dad has asked a handful of times the past few days who the artist is, so he’s clearly also enjoying this journey lol

Time for MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA

I was wrong, I finished it. Love Yourself ‘Tear’ ✅

I really liked a lot of songs from the album! Intro: Singularity, Fake Love, Anpanman, So What…

Sleep now

Okay, finished Face Yourself ✅

I think I’ll start Love Yourself ‘Tear’ tonight but it’s about bedtime so I’ll have to give it proper attention tomorrow

Another sweet little album 🥰 Love Yourself ‘Her’ ✅

I think my faves were DNA, Pied Piper, and Go Go

Up next: Face Yourself 🪞
