The Hongjoong Mighteez behind a small round pumpkin with his smiling :3 smile and heart in the middle of his forehead drawn in marker on it. Against a dark blue couch.

Happy Halloween 🎃

Pochacco and Pi-chan spa headband

Found yungi headband at Miniso.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Today’s been a lively day of waking up to Hongjoong posting his matz-matching Lego minifig to an explicitly queer song called “we fell in love in October” ‼️‼️‼️ and then giving geriatric maternal medicine, insurance, and personal finance advice in a kpop fixed/soft claims group chat. Adultiny life fr.

If #Mingi were a packer, not a rapper. #ateez

quick psa: if you use GDrive, go into Settings -> Manage Apps and make sure the Gemini AI horseshit is turned off.
Just got a heads-up about it elsewhere, and sure enough, Gemini had been turned back on without my permission

Psshhhhhhhhh love you 😘🥰💗💗💗

I deleted and reposted because of a typo 🤣 but hah yes! Good use of time today.

Sidewalk selfie of an Asian woman in purple glasses, holding a “Queens votes early” sticker.

I know most of you aren’t in NYC so I’ll tell you a bit of good civics news, given that I think a lot of you would vote for Mamdani if you could. I early voted today. ☑️ (oops I’m vain and made a typo with the last post so here goes again)

7th anniversary congratulations photo from KQ, with all members posing together, giving thumbs up or peace signs. “Since 2018.10.24.” Half the members’ suits are styled to be oversized for some reason.

Happy Ateez day. Happy seven years to these eight boys, who mean more to me than I can express. Thank you for existing and giving so much of yourselves to us. I’m so glad I found you.

Korean header at the top about the global 6k run for water. Everyday, children in Africa walk an average of 6 kilometers just to get water. The "Global 6k" is a run that lets us walk or run in their place -- bringing the gift of clean water. Nighttime run selfie of Hongjoong in the program's signature orange colored shirt is below that, then more Korean. And for the second year in a row, Ateez Hongjoong has joined this meaningful cause to stand with children in need.

Korean text is across the top, underneath a drawing of a cake with heart topper on it. This year, in celebration of Hongjoong's birthday, the Hongjoong6k Special Run is back to give clean water to children! Hongjoong in the program's orange shirt and white hoodie pose cutely for the camera below that. He holds up a "Global 6k for water" sign. The picture has cute digital embellishments and a speech bubble coming from him with a heart inside.

Officially registered for #Hongjoong's virtual 6k for his birthday. Second year in a row he's doing it, so it's the second year in a row I'm doing it! Let's hope I don't catch the flu again this time. global6kforwater.com

Smiling Hongjoong photo reference next to monochromatic lineart sketch of his face, along with two other partial sketches nearby.

Okay one more (ish? Sorta kinda three) for tonight's listening to tiktoks. Never doing Hongjoong justice but I've done more art in the last three days than I have in the last year, which I'll call a win?

Aw thank youuu 🥹😭💗

monochrome sketchy portrait of Wooyoung at Paris Fashion Week this week, next to the reference photo of him taken with other people out of focus around him.

Okay, last one because whatever. Nothing like posting when shadows and eyes don't make any actual sense anymore. Also it's 4am. It's fine. #wooyoung #ateezfanart

monochromatic sketchy portrait of Hongjoong, smiling and and mid-move on stage. The reference photo at the side is remarkably photogenic because his smile and face look amazing, but the portrait looks a bit wonky. The angle is difficult because of the foreshortening.

I regret this angle so bad. I'm so sorry, Hongjoong. 😂

monochromatic rough sketch alongside a color reference of Hongjoong and Seonghwa. Short-haired blond Hongjoong is in a hooded sweatshirt and hooks his arm around Seonghwa's neck. Seonghwa with dark hair and thin rimmed glasses, smiles in a white button down shirt.

It's not exactly inktober, but I did do a draw. A whole art, kinda. A sketch anyway. Haven't opened procreate in years but uh my current adobe options are down. #matz #ateezfanart #hongjoong #seonghwa

Monochrome digital sketch of Hongjoong in 3/4 profile, with light shading.

Reference for the 3/4 picture, pink-orange-haired Hongjoong in a dark sweater and chain necklace, looking at the camera from 3/4 profile angle.

I sketched a small Hongjoong. It's pretty dang rough but. Ah well, I haven't drawn anything in ages.

it seems there's no non-weird time to do this in 2025 but the posts must go on, so: i have new book, RECIPE FOR TROUBLE, coming out next month! it's available now on netgalley and for preorder! it's full of laughs and queer joy! but, FAIR WARNING, it may make you hungry 🤤 geni.us/1204-al-aut-am

Caption: “HUP! New gender binary just dropped.” In the picture below, a pink packages of princess putty and a green and blue package of capybara putty, advertising two compounds to add mix ins to.

Why are these the two actual genders for Mingi though

Somebody on Twitter mentioned “yunsan Wednesday” and I would like to petition it to be yunsanday on Sunday or yunsanturday.

I am normally so even keel in temperament, I haven't had a bout of proper depression for possibly 15 years+. But the last few days have been pretty shit, and I don't understand why. It's like I've forgotten to take meds. (I'm not on depression/mood meds and have been okay with my ADHD one.)

In Chinese winter paintings, umbrella bearers are more than figures braving snow, they are moving poems. Though umbrellas began as tools of shelter, they became symbols of quiet resilience and fleeting beauty. 1/2

It’s Wednesday, why not I guess 🫣 #wipwednesday

Rooftop pool at night with the twin towers of Kuala Lumpur in the distance.

Pic of Seonghwa in the pool, no shirt on, visible from the upper pecs and up. He’s in the water and looking to the side, contemplative and hot.

I started writing a matz fic some weeks ago based on these rooftop pool pics. It’s close to 6k. Established “it’s complicated” fwb. Might be close to finishing…? I have another act to finish. Stay tuned I guess?? Pray for my writing mojo.
