It is that time of year!!! Time to make my vision board and make plans…

I know a few I am going to do, and just remembered ones I forgot to add. So that will be done - I hand draw the items so the pictures aren’t that great but I have fun doing it. Also makes me appreciate those with talent because apparently I have no patience for it XD

I think one I want to try is to make at least a story or writing a month…. That is one I need to add.

And I want to keep improving! What do y’all normally put on your vision boards? (They help me recenter and focus on what I want and who I hope to become. ^•^)

So I have my main-ish story that I want to work on, but am being reminded I have a "Trope" Series I was going to do and I am excited-

Yet cannot write a darn thing. HA. Maybe I should try editing my main story.

... So I just found out I have "questions asked" and one of them was such a sweet message and I feel horrid that I didn't see them until now!

One day, I will post stories here too… on tumblr. Though it might be on my BTS account - because they truly inspire me and really stoke my creativity and imagination.

But don’t think they are my only inspiration. Thank you to all the authors who write and post here. You are one of my end goals and I am here for it! I will always root and cheer for you - and if you have to step away, that is okay too. Thank you for giving us what you have, and I will always be wishing you the best in whatever you do.

I do that with Fanfictions here allllll the time!! Yes.

Rambling - ignore me

But what if I made Taehyung a pirate who longed to live a normal life on land instead of the rich and profitable life he already had. He couldn't resist the temptation of treasure and the hunt.

The adventure, the puzzles, the thrill, and the reward at the end of it all. It kept him in his current life...

But one day, someone shows him the ultimate treasure that finally allows him to retire and pursue the life he always dreamed of.

"This... this sounds like literal fanfiction," you stated as you looked at the premise. "Usually here would be an appearance of like a super popular idol or something and just-"

Taehyung looked curiously as he took his notebook out of your hand, looking over it to try to see what you see. "What do you mean?"

"Look, okay? Like I totally see hybrid or Andriod or Stepford wives AU or something," you started, pointing out some of the key elements of suggestion. "Collars? Screams hybrid AU. Where the owner hates putting them on their Hybrid because they deem it inhumane and they treat their hybrid well and see the human side of them."

He looked at you, wordless, as he just... blinked. Taehyung did manage to open his mouth once but then closed it. It was to hear what more you had to say. Because it sounds like you read these A LOT.

"And look here," you continued. "This idea - it seriously almost sounds like an Andriod AU. Like, maybe someone made the android, and their creation came to life and though they were made to be someone's wife, the creator became attached and saw that they had so much more potential than the brainless actions they originally were designed for. Or SOMETHING. I just-"

"Glad you didn't jump to BDSM at least, I guess," Taehyung finally interjected, with his infamous grin. He had a look that made you hesitant and suspicious.

What is going on in your mind," you asked. You KNEW there was something else he was thinking about and you just... you had reasons to be suspicious.

"You read stuff like this a lot?"

THERE IT WAS. You blushed and closed the notebook, then went to rush away. "Whatever. You asked my opinion and I am going to go now."

He was outright laughing now. "No! Wait! I want to hear more! Because this is actually fascinating and I would definitely read these too - come baaaaaaack! Y/NNNNNN!"

Just in case!!

So there's a scam/bot spam going around. Almost fooled me, but I got the same exact message on two seperate accounts.

I haven't put in the link into anything just in case. So yeah, be aware lads.

To explain-

I don't believe many people read the stuff on this page - but if there is someone who DOES -

Be aware - I will be posting random writings, things out of order, just getting things out there for me to really get started. Sometimes maybe even stuff that doesn't even go with the main big story I am writing. XD

I don't know what is going to happen next, what I will post next, or what random spur of mind type stuff I will be doing. So... I am sorry that none of it will make sense. XD

Continuance - BTS story

welp - I have decided to continue with that modern-like style beginning. I have even expanded upon the story greatly and it has taken a huge turn that I never saw coming.

Which makes it very exciting. I might write out of order later but for now this picks up right where I originally left off.

“It does,” you confirmed. You could not stop your eyes from wandering. You were listening, but the sights around you had you enraptured and made stories appear before your eyes. It was as if all the stories you had read and adored - especially the fairy tales - were actually true. And happened in this mansion.

The turns felt slightly familiar, though you couldn’t place why. Maybe it was just the imagination that had run wild for you since you were a child. These halls gave a feeling of familiarity as if you walked through them before, as if you experienced the stories that had taken place in your heart since you were young. Shaking your head, you knew you were being ridiculous and finally spoke to inquire about where you were going.

But it was almost like Namjoon could read your mind. “We’re heading towards the area you will be working,” he stated, a soft smile upon his face. You couldn’t see his dimples but you knew they had to be there from what you had witnessed earlier. “I figured best to start by showing you were you might be spending a majority of your time, then the rest of the house to help you familiarize yourself with possible routes or activities you may participate in throughout the day.”

You gave a noise of confirmation as you smiled at the back of his head. He gave an aura of warmth and knowledge that you could not help but feel reassured he was there and the one to be leading you. 

“Be careful! That vase is one of the Master’s favorite,” a voice calmly called out. You turned your head to see who he was speaking to to find an energetic maid freeze in her spot, eyes wide, as she watched the vase she was just polishing wobble back and forth on its stand. She held her breath and you laughed at the huge sigh of relief as it calmly returned to its solitary state. She dramatically wiped the back of her hand on her forehead, with the obligatory ‘whew’ that normally comes with the action.

“Thanks Hoseok! I don’t know what I’d do if you didn’t warn me in time!”

Her voice had a sense of joy and pride in what she does, with enthusiasm you would have never thought to see a maid have about her job. Usually the maids you see were a bit more downtrodden or nose to the grind type of people. She was refreshing and made you realize that this place was like no other.

The man himself seemed to appear behind you. “Of course Lisa, anytime. That is what I am here for.” His voice made you jump since it caught you off guard, which led to him laughing at the reaction. “I’m sorry, didn’t mean to scare you!”

Namjoon turned with a slightly clumsy flourish that made you doubt what you saw. Was there such a thing as clumsy elegance? But he gave Hoseok an acknowledging nod which Hoseok returned. “Ah! Miss Y/S/N, this is Jung Hoseok - our head butler. He is in charge of the house maintenance and all those who take care of it.”

“Which includes us maids and the other butlers,” the maid - who’s name you believe is Lisa if you heard Hoseok right - stage whispered. Both men gave her a look and she just shrugged. “Hey, who knows! Maybe she wouldn’t have figured it out immediately.”

This made you laugh as you nodded towards her. “I appreciate your assistance. It’s nice to know that someone will make sure I am kept in the loop.”

She gave a proud ‘I-told-you-so’ type of nod to Namjoon and Hoseok and then carried on her way. You could have sworn there was some sort of glowing trail behind her, but once you blinked, it was gone. She was truly a lively one and you look forward to seeing her again. 

You then turned to Hoseok and held out your hand. “Pleasure to meet you Mr. Jung. I am Y/S/N, Y/N.”

Hoseok’s smile then got wider - and if possible, even brighter. It allowed you to actually take in his appearance and notice that he too is quite handsome. He had such a great feel to him that made you feel like you were in the presence of the sun itself - though it was warm and would never burn. “Ah! I heard you were coming! Glad someone is going to help with the, er,…. project.”

“She knows she is here to work on the library,” Namjoon stated, only to soon be interrupted by another. 

“She just doesn’t know how much of an eyesore it is yet,” someone else drawled with a sigh. You looked over and found yet another good looking man - what is in the water here? - that had a much more sleepy look to him. He did a quick scan of you, then did a slight bow to be polite. He sighed once more than tsk’d as he looked at the clipboard in his hands. “Seems like she isn’t actually an employee for them, but one brought in because of her expertise. It seems they felt she would be the best to help sort with our collections and arrange it to the Master’s satisfaction.” 

He flipped through a few more pages, nodding as he took mental notes, and then looked back at you. His eyes weren’t quite what you were expecting but his charms were undeniably there. When he spoke, he seemed to choose his words and didn’t want to waste more energy than he needed to. Something about him was nagging your mind - 

And you snapped your fingers, which had all three pairs of eyes back on you as you excitedly realized why. “Oh! You’re Mr. Min! The head secretary right? I remember your voice from a few calls-“

He cocked an eyebrow at you, which made you falter a little bit. Oops. Right. He knew you weren’t a part of the company so how do you explain hearing his voice before? “My friend has played recordings before to notate and prepare for meetings - though she reassured me what I was listening to wasn’t a breech of contract - I’m sorry.” You had said it a little quickly and mumbled and rushed a bit at the end, trying to get to the apology. You were hoping you didn’t get your friend in trouble - there was a reason why you made sure to not say Jisoo’s name.

He looked at you one more time, blinked as if processing, then a huge gummy smile appeared which softened his whole appearance immediately. “Cute,” then turned away chuckling as he put his head back down to read his clipboard and one of his hands went to mark something on the paper.

Your eyes were wide as you turned to look at Namjoon who was also grinning again, arms crossed as he watched Yoongi walk away. “Don’t worry, he seems like he could bite, but he’s actually very soft once you get to know him.”

This made Hoseok chuckle in agreement. “Well, you are in good hands Miss Y/S/N, so I’ll be on my way. Nice to meet you! They have already placed your items in your room, but if you think of anything else you may need, feel free to reach out to me.” 

You turned to look at Hoseok for a moment, nodding and returning his smile. “Will do. Thank you so much.” 

With that, he did an exaggerated bow to get you to laugh - which you did - and he left you and Namjoon.

“Well, at least you have already met some in the household. Let’s go finish this walk to the library so I can show you the kitchen next-“ Knowing its cue, your stomach made a noise that made you quickly try to admonish it. “-because you might be hungry,” Namjoon finished, knowing he was correct. 

He showed you through the mansion and informed you he will provide you with a sketch of the mansion that you can use like a map if you want so you can get used to where everything was. Apparently his protege had drawn it back when he had started and was one of the best ones Namjoon had seen. “It will even give some extra tips that I had forgotten about,” he stated and then stopped before some large doors. 

Again, this mansion will forever remind you of every fairy tale you grew up reading.

The beginning of one of the possible options...

I have to admit, I am unsure if this is the one I want to proceed with. I will post this here so I have easy access..... and then maybe post the other one and decide later. (Honestly, I may have posted this before - who knows by this point.)

It was an odd request - that you know for sure. Not only because of how you received the invitation, but the shock that surrounded you once others you once worked with found out who the request was FROM. 

It was no secret - there was something mysterious about the household that seemed to have one of the most brilliant minds reside within it. No one has actually seen the main man himself, just dealt with the people who work for him and maintain the household. 

His employer truly was brilliant and was able to change the approach that best suits the situation-

Which is why the request that reached you was so hard to believe. 

“What do you mean you are requesting I do this project for you,” you asked your friend, hand frozen mid-air, holding a book you were about to put away. 

“Please please Y/N, I need you to do this - you are the perfect fit and we don’t want to risk losing him as a client,” Jisoo asked, giving you her adorable pout. But that wasn’t about to work on you. 

You finished shelving the book then put your hand on your hip as you looked at her. “Seriously, I know nothing about this client except that your company does a lot of work with them and their projects are highly sought after. You probably have plenty ready to jump at this type of opportunity-”

Jisoo shook her head as she cut you off. “No. Because this isn’t a normal request. You will have to PHYSICALLY go to their manor and help with arranging and cleaning up their library.” She let out a heavy sigh as she tried to think of the best way to explain this to you. “We have no one who is qualified for that-” “Then get a librarian. I work at a bookstore-” you started as you lightly shook your head to go and attend back to what you were doing. 

“It’s going to take a while - in fact, we have no idea how long it would take,” Jisoo stated. She then grabbed your hand, a begging look on her face. What in the world would drive her to this type of despair?

Wait….

“Does that mean I have to quit here?” You couldn’t help the disbelief that was obvious in your voice. “My boss already talked to your boss and you have the approval to leave - with a full offer to have your job back once this has been completed,” Jisoo murmured, slightly embarrassed that this is all coming to light before you even agreed. “So…. that means you’ll take it?”

“You are so lucky I love you,” you reply, unable to hide your stunned state. 

“I know. And Jennie says thanks too - and she called you a lucky-” You held up your hand to cut Jisoo off. “Yeah yeah, I get it. I don’t even see why you think I am the right person for this, but your company definitely doesn’t take short-cuts when it comes to him. I’m in - but-”

Jisoo squealed and hugged you, practically spinning the both of you in your spot. “THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Once you get off your shift today, head over to my office. We’ll talk details and pay and arrangements - I mean you’ll also need to make sure you have time to pack because I don’t know how long you staying here-”

“Wait-”

“Oh yeah, we were going to go over that this afternoon. But you’ll be staying there as well. Not just driving there every day,” she stated before practically dashing away and waving. “Thank you again!”

“JISOO!” you exclaimed. She didn’t - but - what- staying there? Oh she was going to get an EARFUL from you when you got to her office.

The sounds of the tires hitting the gravel knocked you out of your stupor and had your brain finally accept the fact that the beautiful scenery and sights you were viewing was actually real and not some sort of dream or movie. 

Though it CLEARLY belonged there. 

The driver pulled around on the half-circle driveway, stopping at the doors in the middle. You did the stereotypical action of looking up at the view while remaining behind the window because oh my goodness what kind of world did you step into? Jisoo had given you a basic rundown of the place - they only sent people out here like once or twice and it was for time-sensitive work because the whole company preferred to work via the internet - but the description she gave you did not do it any justice. 

Then again, her description was more like “Oh my God Y/N, it is gorgeous from what they said - almost like pulling into a fairytale story,” but still. It somehow did not prepare you for… THIS. There were many miles of just land. Acres really, and even then, it felt like the home overtook the gorgeous and natural view around it. What in the world did she get you into?

You were so caught up in the view that you missed the initial sound that the driver made to get your attention. The second time he cleared his throat was MUCH louder and almost sounded painful. It made you wince and look over bashfully, caught in just gawking. You swear you were an adult. Sometimes.

He offered you a polite smile and tilted his hat at you as he was glad to have your attention. “Mr. Kim will be out soon. He wanted to greet you personally - since this was more of his project than anything.” “Oh, okay. That is fine, I’m just-” before you could continue the car door was opened for you and a hand magically appeared in front of you. Out of instinct you took it and allowed it to help you out - almost feeling like a princess.

Only to be met with one of the most - no, THE most - handsome man you had ever laid your eyes on. You couldn’t help but blink. Then look around. Is someone pulling your leg? You turned back to the car - “Are you sure you took me to the right place,” you asked, forgetting that the man in front of you could clearly hear you.

The tall man cleared his throat, a grin appearing on his face, his dimples clearly showing. “Greetings Miss Y/S/N. You are Miss Y/S/N, correct?”

Hearing his genuine question made your head turn to look at him again - and looked up. He really was tall. “Y-Yeah. Sorry. I think I might just be a bit tired - the drive was a bit longer than I had expected?”

Yeah, you ended that with a question. Brilliant, Y/N, just flipping brilliant. 

“And you must be Mr. Kim. He was telling me you’d be here,” you started. 

That caused him to smile again, and man that was just so darn charming. You know what, if you are being pranked or somehow fell into some sort of novel, you’d just accept it for now. Definitely could be worse. “Yes, my name is Kim Namjoon. You can call my Namjoon if you prefer-” “No, Mr. Kim seems to work best for me right now,” you answered, lightly shaking your head as you offered him your own smile. 

That made him chuckle. “There are actually three ‘Mr. Kims’ here so maybe you’ll adopt a name for at least one of us,” he responded. “But we are truly very happy to have you here. I’m not going to lie, I should have had this attended to much sooner, but well, what I prioritize is slightly different than The Master’s. His being more business while mine is more of a personal whim.” 

As he spoke, he had motioned for some of the servants to attend to your luggage and before you had realized it, the driver had opened the trunk and they were all hauling it away while your attention had been captured by the man in front of you.

You almost felt like you had been duped - he was distracting you as the others made your stuff ‘disappear.’ It was ridiculous but seriously, how had he captured your attention so much? “We have a lot to cover I’m afraid,” Mr. Kim stated as you started to follow him.

He had made no statement nor any actual movement for you to follow, but his presence just commanded it and you found yourself obeying - again questioning if maybe this truly is a place of magic because really - 

“That is fine, I suppose. I got some of the basics when I was originally approached for the position,” you responded, wanting to seem like you had some sort of professional experience. You did, just somehow the atmosphere and the people momentarily made it disappear. “Though I must admit she didn’t give me much to work with in regards to details.”

Mr. Kim nodded in understanding. “Yes, I’m afraid we didn’t give much either. Yoongi - Mr. Min is what you may know him as - tends to not care too much for certain information to be given if it isn’t needed. I would have happily told them more if they requested, but they seemed to have accepted the little he provided.” He sounded a little confused about it but you couldn’t help but try to hide your smile.

You knew EXACTLY why. They weren’t going to miss another opportunity to really get in with their good graces. Didn’t want to give much info? Fine - they’d get it to work as best as they could. Wasn’t something they normally did? Who cares. To keep getting requests from the Bangtan Company was just an honor and they weren’t about to lose it. All about staying on their good side because everyone kept saying that Bangtan was essentially just THE company to work with - even with their slightly smaller size. The brilliance was there. What they did always seemed to be golden.

“Mr. Min - he is the head secretary, correct,” you ask, which Mr. Kim nodded in confirmation. You have a feeling that you have just as much authority. “So, what is your position?”

That made him grin. He couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped him at your statement. He is definitely going to have to tell Yoongi that one.

“Fancy title: Majordomo,” he started, then looked around to make sure he was leading you the right way. “Chief steward of the household is another way to think of the title if that helps.”

“It does,” you confirmed.

Going to try to write again...

And I am going to work on my BTS Beaty and the Beast-esque type story. I have two versions I started ages ago. One is a more 'does the fairy tale thing' that I based off of my original B&B rewrite that had all original characters.

But then I also have this ... more modern version? I am a little intrigued at my brain at how it came up with this and wondering if I should just continue down that path-

Or just completely start over. I mean, it is possible, not against it. I cannot help but wonder... Hmmm...

Antagonists, anti-heroes, and villains: A how-to (part 1)

Antagonists are what arguably drive a story. From facilitating conflict and plot progression, to defining and shaping the protagonist. A well written villain could turn your story from meh to unforgettable.

manipulation_.

Good and bad isn’t black and white. A well written villain will bring intrigue to their points and make them appeal, even if you don’t directly support them.

For example, 1984 by George Orwell was greatly improved thanks to O’Brien - while I don’t think he is correct in anything he’s done, I was immersed in his reasonings and manipulative personality.

Taken from the book, I fully believe this following passage shows gaslighting and manipulative anti-heroes and the effect they have on the victim:

“...but the aim of this was simply to humiliate him and destroy his power of arguing and reasoning. Their real weapon was the merciless questioning that went on and on, hour after hour, tripping him up, laying traps for him, twisting everything that he said, convicting him at every step of lies and self-contradiction until he began weeping as much from shame as from nervous fatigue. Sometimes he would weep half a dozen times in a single session. Most of the time they screamed abuse at him and threatened at every hesitation to deliver him over to the guards again; but sometimes they would suddenly change their tune, call him comrade, appeal to him in the name of Ingsoc and Big Brother, and ask him sorrowfully whether even now he had not enough loyalty to the Party left to make him wish to undo the evil he had done. When his nerves were in rags after hours of questioning, even this appeal could reduce him to snivelling tears. In the end the nagging voices broke him down more completely than the boots and fists of the guards. He became simply a mouth that uttered, a hand that signed, whatever was demanded of him. His sole concern was to find out what they wanted him to confess, and then confess it quickly, before the bullying started anew.”

Other examples include Mother Gothel from Tangled and Light Yagami from Death note

Knowing the importance of a manipulative character, here’s how to write one:

Seclusion. By secluding and isolating the victim from other influences that can counter the scheming tactics. By taking someone away from familiar settings and people, they are more vulnerable

Guilt tripping and (mildly) degrading comments. Even minor playful ‘jokes’ or ‘teasing’ can contribute. By making someone feel worse or making them feel in debt, they feel morally obligated to stick around. Some might call this ‘playing the victim card’ (Some manipulators might switch between victimizing themselves and being the bully. Whatever is most convenient at the time)

Trust. There has to be a level of trust between victim and the character before they make any moves. Someone is more likely to overlook manipulative advances from someone who has helped them, shared moments with them, etc,. The victim will logically be more likely to trust a friend more than a stranger.

Remember, this doesn’t always happen immediately. Manipulators may be skilled in their craft, but they aren’t magic. It can take take days, weeks, months, or even years for a character to manipulate their targets.

base it off real life_.

A realistic character is always more interesting that a 2d one. People have layers, caked upon each other. If you're having trouble to write your antagonist - base it off real life.

E.g. You want to write a clown serial killer, base it off The Joker from batman, or "Clown Killer Gacy" (John Wayne Gacy)

THIS ISN'T AN EXCUSE TO PLAGIARIZE! (And you don't wanna get sued from making it too similar to a real character) read this post to learn about how to avoid plagiarism

(tw: don't google this next guy if you're not comfortable w gore + murder)

All villains have motive, taking the example of Blake Leibel - he tortured and murdered his fiance because their newborn daughter was taking away all the attention, as well as stress from avoiding Russian mob bosses that were trying to get money back from his brother.

Analyze villains you like from your favourite books, animes and movies. Delve deep and do research!

this was long, so i’ll make more parts to this and link them here. hope this helps!

She put her ear to the door, trying to overhear what was going on. Normally she wasn't one to eavesdrop but there was something weird here and she needed to know if she was safe or if an escape plan was needed.

Because this was clearly not what she originally signed up for when she was asked to attend to this estate's library.

"... can't hide it for much longer," the female stated.

She thought for a moment. There weren't too many females here, was it the young woman Mulan. She remembered that conversation because she had grown up watching that movie and hearing that tale -

But that was a thought for a different day.

"Then what do you suggest," an exasperated adult male asked. "She is important to all of it working. Without her, we fail and we will never get the truth out. And that means LIVES Mulan."

First - confirmed female voice. Second - what?

"I know," Mulan replied, tried to keep quiet. "But I am also terrified. What if it doesn't work - should we not let her know?"

"You want to risk the life of the others," the male said. There was shuffling and a possible sniffle. "They all deserve their truth and freedom."

Another pause. "Okay, we keep as we are, and pray she truly is the one we have been waiting for. For everyone."

That was enough. She needed to back away. She was not in danger but not needed. But she felt a drop in her stomach. Because there was no way that she was the one they wanted or were waiting for. Couldn't be. She didn't want to let them down, but what is she to do?

She needed to figure out what was going on and who they were waiting for. But she knew she could not be blunt about it.

She took a deep breath and headed back to the library. That was why she was here, and that was where the answers lay. She would no longer hesitate or just dally. She was terrified of the monster that seems to appear in there from time to time but someone always came in time to rescue her and bring her to safety.

And the monster seemed to never show itself when others were there. The inhabitants of this estate always seemed to come when she needed them most. So she would have to keep the faith that they would or would come if called.

Someone needed her to do her job so she could get the RIGHT person there. And she wouldn't let them down.

"So let me get this right," you started. Your friend looked at you, waiting to clarify or clear up any questions you have.

"I just need to establish our situation right now: We are somehow transported to some medieval world, informed that we need to find 7 shards, and have no idea about anything else, no additional information, including how the HELL we got here," you state, your voice going up slightly in pitch. Is this panic? No, god you hope not.

You just need ANSWERS.

She pauses, looks up with her obviously thinking face on, then nodes. "Yup! Sounds right!"

You look to the right of you. "And our only other Ally is ... someone else who was hired the same time we were?!?!?!"

There was another rustle and then someone came stumbling out of the bush, and your friend saw who it was. "Nope! We have two allies!"

You.... what the -

"What kind of machinery is THAT," one of your co-workers who wasn't rolling to join the group pointed to... to...

a big thing. You squint as you turn to look and cross your arms in front of you as you too try to figure out what it is. "I can't-"

"Y'all, I think it is one of those Royal Carriage like things," the one from the bush finally spoke, dusting themselves off as they lightly limp towards your group.

Four. There is four of you here. You JUST started work together, about to work on the most amazing project of all of your dreams combined, only to have a flash, a storm, and then WHOOSH you end up here.

"Hey, why did you call it machinery anyway," your friend ask, as you all just... stand in awe... looking at whatever is coming towards the four of you.

She shrugged. "you know, calling this place medieval, it felt like more proper terminology."

You couldn't fault her on that.

Oh dear God what did you just get dropped into?

expertise

"So, you're telling me -"

"This is your SEA of expertise!" The laughter that followed was met by your shaking head. Did he just laugh at his own joke? Was it really a joke though?

"I... I don't think-" you start.

Jin wipes his eyes and waves away what you were trying to say. "It counts. You understand, it's allll good. Now," he says as he claps his hands together excitedly and rubs them, "we can get down to business!"

You shake your head, the small smile of acceptance trying to pop out. You really did enjoy being paired up with Jin. He had his moments of brilliance that others didn't appreciate. He was an excellent partner.

"Okay, how much do you remember about 'The Little Mermaid,'" you started, as you grabbed one of your older notebooks that you had used to jot information and details in.

"That it has a sad ending," he answered immediately.

"Well, depends on how you see it," you state as you flip through the pages. "It could-"

"Wasn't it supposed to be some sort of religious type feel or meaning to it? I mean, point taken," he states, giving you a face that you knew all too well.

"Yah yah yah, but there is more here that we can use to locate the what really happened - what the truth is and not that ending that the fairy tale author gave it."

"Hans Christian Anderson," Jin stated. You looked at him once more. "The author that wrote the version you're thinking of. Hans Christian Anderson."

You gave him a look of relief. "Oh thank god! We've worked on the stories he has told before! So we know what to look for when he took his things into his own hands and spun the tale how he wanted it and broke off from the history!"

Jin looked proud. "Great place to start from! Now, share your notes of brilliance woman! We need to figure this out quickly!"

My Four Random Words:

suppress

long

able

lecture

Go back to college they said. You can do it they said. What they didn't say was even though you have matured and have experience now, is that lectures were still just as tiring.

EVEN MORE SO IN FACT.

How long have you been wanting to yawn but know it would be complete obvious if you did so? How much did you have to suppress the urge to just lay your head down because honestly, you are a working adult and these shifts are starting to truly wear you down.

This has to be inhumane!

"This is important history here," the gentleman up front stated before he fixes his glasses. "It is constantly being mistold. Everyone has accepted one way - one version of this story. And it is the version with the 'Happily Ever After' ending. And it just truly isn't correct. How can we learn how to counter? How is Belle alive to this day? What do you mean you don't know what I am talking about? If you have watched Beauty and the Beast by Disney, you think you know the tale.

But you are completely misinformed."

You sat up again. Truly, how people don't know the truth and assume that the happy story is the correct story. How are they able to just... function? They must be confused when they talk to someone who's ancestors are some of the real house servants who lived with 'the Beast'.

And you hear this lecture time and time again. Yet there is always that person who speaks up, tries to correct, and then is flattened when the professor has to show how they are wrong and in so many ways.

And he always does it with that sigh.

Fairy tales really happened, but not quite like everyone expected. Some of the story tellers edited slightly to suit what they wanted, but for the most part, a lot of it contained crucial information.

But only more recently have people realized the truth and accepted it. Only more recently has the 'Fairy Tale' World allowed the rest of the world to actually see them, learn about them, and show them the truths behind EVERYTHING.

You think people would eat this information up. But no, they are so set in their happily ever after for everything that it has taken nearly shaking sense into the 'normal world' for some of it to get into their thick skulls.

And this is why it is boring. Once he starts getting to the real stuff - able to get past this beginner phase with basic information, that's when it gets good.

It just takes far to long to GET THERE.

Four Random Words for today:

admit

reasonable

health

agreement

"Admit it, this is a reasonable explanation for this," your friend exclaims triumphantly. He was looking pretty smug as he looked at you, as if he had all the answers in the world.

"... no. Never. Nope. Not doing it," you reply after a pause, and you have to hide your smile as he deflates a little bit and looks at you in shock.

"Seriously?!!?"

"The agreement DOES. NOT. MAKE. SENSE," you reply, emphasizing your words. "Honestly, who would agree to that and have it think it was a valid thing to agree to-"

"I don't care - maybe their health was declining and so it made perfect sense in their mind. Either way, that book is brilliant and I am sticking to it!"

"So you're telling me that Mr. Body somehow just... forgives his 'friends' from trying to kill him at the end of EVERY Clue book and invites them all over again and think 'well, maybe they won't try to kill me this time and we can have fun!'. I THINK NOT!"

You plop down the 'child' book series. "This is ridiculous and could NEVER be a real life thing. You cannot make a series or a movie out of this. It barely passes reasoning in the books. I think it should just stay a book series and leave it as that."

"And I think it would make a FANASTIC series on TV! Every episode is one of the cases - "

"And every third case they supposedly kill him and somehow magically comes back to life in the next to begin the dreaded three again? No. Never."

He plops down onto the sofa with the loudest groan. "Ugh, you just don't see brilliance when you hear it!"

You smile and grab a handful of his popcorn. "And you need to realize not all books have to be made into a movie or a show."

If this is true....

The #1 song on my 22nd birthday is Firework by Katy Perry....

Is... is that good? Oh dear god I don't know.

"Are you serious right now? Really?"

The voice sounded irritated as the woman kept checking her watch as she started to tap her toe.

"Look, we don't have much time! You're moving as slow as a snail and I-"

"I can't hurry any faster, " you state as you make sure to grab your boots to finish off your outfit. "Don't worry, we have ample time to make it to the celebration," you say with a smile, trying to reassure your anxious friend.

"It's my year again! Year of the Tiger is only every 12 years-" Dahyun starts.

"As does every sign," you state with a laugh. "I know this awesome girl born in 2010 who wants to be a Robotic Engineer. She too is a Tiger, just so you know."

"Don't lump all of us together," she states, trying to hide her smile.

"Right right right," you say, as you stand straight, your boots on. "Let's go. That Lunar New Year party can't start without us," you said with a grin.

"Hosts late to their own party, what a sham!" Dahyun exclaims as she grabs your arm. "Let's gooooo!"

and so you two leave, and just like you said, you have PLENTY of time to make it. You can't wait to rub it in her face later about her being a drama queen.

Commenting fanfiction is the easiest thing in the world once you start doing it. 

Today..... I will take a break and start drabbles again tomorrow! Whoooo Happy New Year everyone!

My four random words:

learn

duke

forge

express

"You seriously cannot expect the Duke to be okay with our sudden arrival," the woman beside you said as she peaked over to check the paper that you are reading.

"Well, he did say that we can stop by any time-"

"Which usually means sending a notice that we'll be coming at least, not just randomly showing up on his doorstep," she interjected, giving you that knowing look.

"Well, he better learn that what he says can be taken to heart-" you started when someone yells out "CUT!"

Both you and Jisoo look surprised at you face the director, trying to figure out where you had messed up. He waves his hand not to dismiss you two, but to state that it wasn't your fault as he looks around as if seeking the source-

"What is that sound coming from?" Taehyung finally gives in and asks the staff as he keeps moving to see if he can somehow magically make the source appear. "If we keep shooting, this whole scene may be usable. I am pretty sure the mics pick it up even if most of you don't hear it yet."

You sit straighter trying to see if you can hear what he is... and then-

"Oh! That buzzing!"

Taehyung grinned at you and gave you a playful finger gun. "Bingo."

That made Jisoo laugh. "Well, that definitely isn't of the time period."

"Exactly! And you two were on such a roll that I didn't want to waste it on a take we'd probably have to scrap and redo."

A lot of the crew were still looking around, having no idea what the three of you are referring to, but this was one of the reasons why that Taehyung was one of the best directors even at his young age. He could catch a few things that others didn't. Saved time and was honestly less frustrating than having to redo a scene multiple times.

There was another voice coming from behind one of the cameras. "Does that mean I can finally talk Hogwarts Express and express me outta this era for now? Seriously, Ultra Best Camera Woman of the Year needs a BREAK!"

That made everyone there laugh, including Taehyung. "You hear Lisa everyone, take a break as we locate the source of the sound and we'll continue in ten."

"JUST TEN?"

".... Fifteen?"

"... Deal," Lisa stated as she nodded, then dashed off towards where the recently replaced food was sitting.

"Don't you dare forge my signature again to get some extra - LISA WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?" One of the assistants said, clear panic in his voice as he started chasing her down. "WE HAVE A BUDGET FOR A REASON WOMAN."

"... Poor Eunwoo," Jisoo said, pretending to mourn.

"Yes, poor Eunwoo. May he somehow make it through Lisa's hijinks," you added, both smiling, watching the handsome DA chase down the craziest - though she was correct about being one of the best - camera women.

Taehyung just blinked, then looked at you two. "So, since you guys heard it as well, care to help me look for it?"

Jisoo shook her head. "Nuh uh! I didn't hear it! Y/N did and you can drag her into this." She stood up smiling. "I'm going to go run lines with Jin since we are supposed to be arriving at his place in the scene after this."

This made you laugh. "Alright alright. I'll go. And tell Jungkook to breathe, he has been nervous since they added more lines to his section. It's his fault for gaining so much attention so easily and he just needs to have faith in his talents," you state as you too get up and pick up the bountiful skirts and underskirts and whatever they have you in for this.

Pride and Prejudice era type thing, why did you agree to this again? This costuming is INTENSE.

Taehyung smiled at you. "At least I have ONE good set of ears nearby. Quick! Before the sound drives me nuts or before the break ends and Lisa manages to somehow derail us for another fifteen," he joked as he held out his hand to help you down.

You took it and nodded. "Yes, the sooner we finish our scenes today, the sooner I get out of this, and the less likely I am going to trip again because when I fall in this, I fall hard. Don't let the layers fool you, it does NOT cushion," you state, making the other two laugh.

As you and Taehyung wave to Jisoo, you start working towards figuring out what the sound was. "This direction," you ask, motioning to where you thought the sound came from.

"That direction," Taehyung nodded, confirming his thoughts as well. And so, the two of you went, trying to see if you could figure out what set off the chaos that was break on set.
