Mingi in a black blazer with silver chain necklaces underneath, and black hair hanging around his eyes. He is smiling slightly at the camera.
Jungkook, wearing a black zip-up hoodie over a black t-shirt. He is looking down at something beyond the frame and tears are running down his cheeks.
My cat Bizkit, sitting beside me on my bed and looking vaguely baffled. She is a long-haired calico with a fluffy white bib and a patchwork square on top of her head, and her eyes are greenish but almost competely obscured by pupil. She isn't hunting, she just always has huge dark eyes.
A rectangle of solid pinky-purple, labelled in white: 'Tyrian purple. #66023C'
Janice the Muppet, sitting on an amp and holding a pink electric guitar. She is wearing a flowery sundress, a brown hat, rope sandals and a shell necklace. She is The Woman.
Album poster for BTS Young Forever album. Shows a hot air balloon checked in rainbow shades, flying in a cloudless blue sky, with the members of BTS riding in the basket.
My longhaired calico cat Bizkit, sitting on my bed. She has a big fluffy white bib, the top of her head is quartered black and orange like a patchwork square, she has abundant whiskers and very round eyes with very large pupils that nearly full her entire eye. She's a very kawaii cat, even at 19, when this photo was taken.
Namjoon winking at the camera and pulling his mouth open with his finger to show off his teeth. He's wearing a white blazer with nothing underneath, a white lace glove and a black leather spiked dog collar.
My cat long-haired calico cat Bizkit, fast asleep with her paw over her nose. She is squashed between my laptop tray and the wall and has her magnificent tail on full display. I think her plumage goes rather well with the blue and yellow bedlinen, featuring a blue, white and hold granny square blanket crocheted by myself last year!

a bowl of jellied eels in aspic, with lemon slices and a cocktail stick with which to eat them. They are a sickly shade of grey, and made worse by the fact that they're served cold.
I, a white woman in my forties, am standing in a hair salon showing off my new hairdo - a long bob in a dark red colour, tied back from the face with a lacy scarf.
A kingfisher sitting on a bit of wood, facing right, in all its azure and vermillion glory. Photo credited to Kiran Poonacha.
Jungkook, wearing a black turtleneck and jacket, with choppy black hair long enough to touch his shoulders, is looking off into the distance over to the right.
A round felt Christmas ornament with a white star embroidered with silver beads, on a black and red compass design, framed by clear glass beads, with a silver tassel. It's supposed to look like the Stray Kids light stick and has S K Z in silver beads along the bottom rim.
Boxed Lego Botanicals plum blossom flower arrangement, which has red and pink flowers on a branch in a grey cup. I'm very much looking forward to building it.
Song Mingi, looking pensive off slightly to the right of the camera. He's wearing a dark red turtleneck under a fluffy white jacket and a silver cross necklace, and his hair is loose around his face. Many of these would be questionable fashion choices, if not outright forbidden, in the story, but I can't make him pose for me, more's the pity.
The younger of my two cats, Tiffany Tornado of the Murder Mittens, sitting on the back of a chair in my bedroom. She is a plumping short-haired calico cat and her markings look like she's wearing a carnival mask.
Jungkook and Taehyung cuddled up together against a white background, serious expressions on their faces. Tarehyung is wearing a black sweatshirt and Jungkook is wearing black track pants and a whire, navy and red jacket.

Tony, a deceptively cherubic-looking blond rogue in a bakerboy cap, boned waistcoat and long, dark green cloak and his companion trouble animal Monty the white ferret. Monty is riding Tony's shoulder as Tony runs away, all kinds of stuff falling out of Tony's pockets - rope, shivs, jewellery, mushrooms, keys, dice and so on.
A round felt ornament featuring a yellow smiling sun with blue sequin eyes and a heavily-beaded aura in gold, orange and red. The rim features copper and gold ceramic spike beads and it's finished with a gold bugle tassel.
A miniature diorama of a vintage ironmonger's shop, with two customers and an ironmonger, all of them felt mice in clothes. Inside the lit shop are shelves of stock such as nails, a bycicle wheel and lead pipe, in the window is a pegboard displaying various tools, and outside are bags of coal, a dog kennel and a stepladder on a cobbled street. There is also a full-sized dice, but I doubt it belongs to the display.
A photo cut off at neck level of someone wearing a floor-length black skirt and turtleneck undershirt, under a white blouse with bishop sleeves, tall, narrow cuffs and a deep v-neck. This skirt is secured with a tie, but the one in the story has a belt.
Song Mingi, looking slightly down and to the left, wearing a plain black jacket. His hair is black and he looks very neat, but a little doubtful. Honestly this is the closest I could find to the outfit described in the story, I'm so very sorry, it was so pretty in my head...
A purple and pink Christmas tree ornament decorated with pink seed beads, pink sequin flowers and lazy daisy stitch. The dangle has Czech beads and rose quartz - this one is WAY more vivid in person.
A round white felt Christmas tree ornament decorated with a mauve heart, pink ric-rac braid and green beads, sequins and embroidery. The three dangles have abalone, rhodochosondite bead, swarovski crystals and a semi-precious stone leaf.
A purple star-shaped felt Christmas tree ornament with the bts symbol in the centre in darker purple, outlined in glittery seed beads. Each member name plus army has a differently-coloured spotted button, and the lower three dangles spell out BTS, with a tiny light stick hanging from the centre one. This was the only star ornament I made, because they're a bitch to stuff.
A screenshot from the drama Riot Women, of the cast - Amelia Bullmore, Rosalie Craig and Tamsiin Grieg - performing in a punk gig. All have electric guitars and Rosalie and Tamsin both have one arm raised.
Taehyung in a frothy white shirt with sparkles on his face and his hair in pale brown waves, looking sideways at the camera with a hand raised to his face.
A flower-shaped felt christmas tree ornament in red, blue and purple with a heart motif in the centre and three dangle weights with lapis lazuli and Swarovski crystal beads. This was my cousin Julian's present and I had to box it in a hurry late at night, hence the poor photography.
An oval felt Christmas ornament in red, green and black, enbroidered in red, green and yellow florals in a Canal Boat style, and trimmed with gold and black beads, finished with a gold bugle bead tassel.
A round stuffed felt Christmas tree ornament decorated to look like a sugar cookie in white and red embroidery, with red, white and silver beads with a copper hand-shaped 'hand made' tag hanging from one of the three bead dangles.
Bizkit, my longhaired calico cat, asleep on my bed on the blue and gold fringed crocheted blanket I made. Her tail is very long and plumey.
Song Mingi looking to the upper right, with an anxious expression on his face. He is wearing a black hoodie and no makeup, and his hair is unstyled.
Elissabat from Monster High
Pride goes before a fall, they say, but Jimin thinks he’s been falling for a long, long time. Not the kind of endless, painless drop through the dark, where the punishment only comes at the end - no, this has been like falling down a steep, filthy mountain slope, covered in sharp rocks and steeper drops, and every second of it has been full of pain. He has only had his pride to cushion him, and sometimes it has made things even worse. Now, though, Jimin is sure he must have reached the bottom. No further to fall, nowhere else to go but here, no pride left. Time to see if Kim Taehyung really will keep that promise he made, even after everything.
Me standing on my very overgrown garden path, smiling with my hands on my hips. I'm wearing a cream cable-knit sweater and semi-precious tumbled stone necklace over a denim pinafore dress, red turtleneck, dark grey tights and red patent leather boots, and a red peaked cap.

Park Seonghwa from ATEEZ at Paris Fashion Week 2024, wearing a brown leather outfit with trousers, wraparound dress and kitten heel boots, and looking astonishing, like a very fashionable androgynous Jedi. Clothes by Isabel Marant.
A tear-shaped beaded felt Christmas tree ornaments, lying on a pink knitted background. It is pale pink with a grey window containing a silver star charm, surrounded by white lazy daisies and blue pearls. The border is pearl bugle beads and blue seed beads and there are three dangle weights, ending in glass teardrops and a silver heart charm.

As they entered the apartment and shed their outer clothes, Hongjoong said, ‘Sorry about him. He would have been much more polite if he was expecting us. Now, do you need to do your altar thing at some point, or something?’ Mingi nodded. ‘Every moonset and moonrise, although admittedly it’s hard to tell when the moon is rising h-ah!’ Thunder crashed suddenly, lightning lit up the windows and Mingi jumped violently, visibly turning ashen. ‘Mingi?’ Hongjoong stepped towards him and he didn’t move, jaw clenched and knuckles white where his hands were fisted in the edges of his wide sleeves. He smelled almost of nothing, just faintly tinged with bitter orange and dead flowers - a scent suppressed with fear. Hongjoong swore under his breath, and said to Mingi, ‘Don’t move, OK? The storm can’t get in, nobody’s going to hurt you.’ Then he ducked into the sitting room and said, ‘Guys, I need help. I think Mingi’s scared of the thunder.’ Everyone in the room looked up but Jongho was already on his feet, flapping a hand at Yunho. ‘Sit down, Hyung, I’ll go. If you want to be an alpha hero go and warm a blanket for him.’
Me - a forty-something white woman in a pink shirt, rainbow striped sneakers and olive green dungarees embroidered with daisies, posing against a white wall.
Song Mingi from the shoulders up, smiling and looking left. He is wearing a black Louis Vuitton jacket over a white t-shirt and multiple black necklaces, and his hair is silver.
