KATE WHAT A SWEETHEART ):

honestly kate needs to realize it's okay to let go of her siblings because they'll do amazing and thrive since she was the one who took care of them

HAHHAHHA ROOPA SEEMS GREAT

I mean maybe her friends have more "personality" than her because they're more vibrant and open, you know? Like Roopa's clearly been through a lot with her father, so it makes sense that she's closed off. Maybe her voice is more authentic, because she seems like more of an introvert than an extrovert? From what I can see, she clearly loves her brother, is an antiromantic, and struggles to speak up for herself, but has the ambition to move forward and move on. Plus, she seems bad with emotions (which, what a mood- every character of mine ever!!) haha

I'm sure everything will work out, though!

hiiii

🌾 what's something an OC needs to learn?

🌼 pick an OC and put them on blast. Call out their flaws, complain about what makes them difficult to write, etc.

Bless you bunny, bless you!

Thank youuuuu

🌾 So my Melody OC, Kate, needs to learn that it's okay for the world to revolve around her sometimes. She's too engrossed in making it perfect for her twin Elena, her brother Jeremy and her aunt Jenna that she most of the times sometimes forgets to think about herself.

She has anxiety and weirdly, instead of feeling anxious about herself or things relating to her safety, she thinks about her friends and family.

Take a breather Katey, it's going to be alright. Think about yourself too, it's no sin.

🌼 My unpublished fic OC: Roopa Subramaniam. It's hard to write her because I don't know what defines her life except her daddy issues or keeping her brother safe. She's a doctor and she has friends, but those friends tend to have more personality than her. In the sense I have 5 booklets worth of what makes them them but a page on Roopa.

Roopa essentially has one flaw, or defense mechanism: keeping love at bay unconsciously because she doesn't believe men can be any different than her own dad in a relationship. She's rude without reason sometimes and due to her defense mechanism, she ignores her best friend- Madhav, crushing on her since forever.

But she slowly changes when another guy (the male protagonist, a restaurant-chain owner and Madhav's childhood friend) shows up and is sweet to her.

Like gorl, I can't have one guy like me back AND YOU HAVE TWO

I'm more jealous of her situation now that I think of it

SERJNEWJKRWRNECM

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO THEO

not even joking though, I definitely got the chills right now reading this- it's like he can't even fight back because the real him isn't conscious but is, and he's aware of what he's becoming

last line tag

thanks for tagging me @splashinkling

i am fairly proud of this, of the feel of it, although it needs quite a bit of editing if you ask me

As they did all of their awful things, he could only clench his fists tightly, feel the coolness of the ring on his skin, fighting what they were trying to do to him. But it was worthless. It was worthless to fight it any longer and his free will, his free mind was now far away from whatever they had made. That was moving his body, while the actual Theo watched through a haze. But that wasn’t the actual Theo either, was it? The actual Theo was even farther back, asleep or trapped, maybe both, but he wouldn’t get a chance to get out if even this memoryless, but with his own thoughts, Theo was trapped.

ahhh !! honestly i don't care i'm so proud of myself because I haven't worked on this wip in like 2 weeks and I wrote SOMETHING, even if it was a "in the moment" thing

literally wrote a cute fluffy rain date scene and then jumped ahead to write this emotional one and now my feelings are all over the place

also like hyeri is so bad with feelings and words ?? i feel so bad that she can't express herself the way everyone else around her can, her pride is too big and she's scared of ruining every and any dynamic my heart )):

My biggest nightmare is my Grandpa giving up.  I researched it once. They said that cancer is so painful, that being treated like a baby again is so degrading, that they can’t deal with it.  But I can’t have him give up. I can’t have him disappear from my life. He’s fought all this time—what’s one more day? That’s what I think, but at the same time, I know how selfish it is to ask him that. I could never ask him to do that, to suffer an extra day, when he can have peace.  I’ve imagined the scenario at least a million times in my head. And I still don’t know what I’d say if he asked me—quietly, in Korean—no.  It’s stupid, really, having thoughts like these. But I’m spiraling. I can’t stop spiraling. I’m spiraling. 

destination seoul updates / snippets

feel free to interact with this post through discussions + reblogs + likes, and thanks for stopping by <3 oop almost forgot inspiration taken from the genius @talesofsorrowandofruin !!

yes, I swear I'll make a proper, detailed wip intro soon! this is more for my immediate gratification and seeing myself spiraling lmao, reactions to look back on.

wip general notes (to be updated):

A fake dating ya romance set in Seoul, Korea where a teen tries to escape the blind dates her chaotic family sets her up on for her aunt's wedding.

One of the few members in her family unable to connect with Korean culture-starting from grasping the language to understanding the mannerisms-the only reason Hyeri Kang comes every summer is to visit her beloved grandfather... who has cancer. This year, though, is more chaotic than ever. Caught up in blind date shenanigans to her aunt's wedding, she employs Taeyoung Kim, who is as infuriating as he is straightforward, as her fake boyfriend to escape awful men who propose to her on the spot. Surely it wouldn't be hard to not fall in love with someone who's connected to a culture she's been resistant towards...

I WANT TO GET BACK TO THIS DRAFT BUT I GOT ACADEMICS

brain's so blank I don't even know what to think

It’s complicated.

You’d think I’d be more excited, coming to Korea over summer break. But this is a mandatory family meeting in the guise of a meeting. Trying not to topple over while dragging the luggage bag from the taxi’s trunk, I glance up at the 11-story apartment. It’s quiet. No hands sticking out through the nets, no voice shrieking our names.

I don’t know whether to be worried or relieved.
